3
Flush out the inlet hoses.
• After the hoses are connected, turn on the
water faucets and flush out any foreign
substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.
• Let the water drain into a bucket, and check
the water temperature to make sure you've
connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
4
Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the
washer.
• Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot
water inlet on the back of the washer.
Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold
water inlet on the back of the washer.
• Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both
faucets all the way and check for leaks at
both ends of the hoses.

Connecting the Drain Hose

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or
laundry tub.
WARNING
• The drain hose should always be properly
secured. Failure to properly secure the drain
hose can result in flooding and property
damage.
NOTE
• The drain must be installed in accordance with
any applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The end of the drain hose should be located a
minimum of 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96"
(244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose
no higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom
of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised
beyond 66" (168 cm), the drain function will be
increasingly affected.
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose
and the drain with tape or other means. If no air
gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the
drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance
or clothing damage.
Using a Standpipe to Drain
1
Clip the end of the hose into the elbow
bracket.
• Connect the elbow bracket
inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.
If the drain hose is extended more than 4
inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow
bracket, mold or microorganisms could
spread to the inside of the washer.
2
Insert the end of the drain hose into the
standpipe.
