For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems:
1. Open yellow, single-wire clamp with pliers and slide over
hooked end of drain hose to secure the rubber and corrugated
sections together.
2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
■ Do not straighten hooked end of drain hose. Do not force
excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure,
but loose enough to provide a gap of air.
■ Do not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.
■ For floor drain installation, see kit number required under
“Tools and Parts.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1. Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
2. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until seated on the washer.
3. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until seated on the washer.
4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
5. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket
or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that
might clog the inlet valve screens.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
6. Attach the hose that is connected to the hot water faucet to
the HOT (bottom) inlet valve. Attaching the hot water hose first
makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers. Screw on
coupling by hand until seated on the washer. Using pliers,
tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
NOTE: The inlet valve may be on the right or the left side of
the washer, depending on your model.
7. Attach the hose that is connected to the COLD water (top)
inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the
washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Check for leaks
8. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount
of water might enter the washer. You will drain this later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates for future reference.
■ If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
