ConnectDrainHose

Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

1.Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2.Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3.Squeeze ears of the silver double-wire clamp with pliers to open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose ¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.

2.Put the hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

For use with floor drain

Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer basket is empty.

1.Attach hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

2.Attach hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

3.Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two- thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
