Installing your Washer
1. If you use a standpipe, make sure the connection
between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT
airtight. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
You must always exercise caution to avoid
collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best
results, the drain hose should not be restricted
in any way – by elbows, couplings, or excessive
length. For situations where the drain hose cannot
be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm,
the drain hose must be supported.
If drain hose is installed below 18"(46cm), water
can be drained in cycle working cause of siphon
phenomenon. It causes the washer to "4E" error.
Drain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.
But drain capability can be reduced at this height.
It causes the washer to have an odor because of
remaining water in the drain system.
Connect the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end of
the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than
6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or
microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill hose.
Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections.
On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose
and attach each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with
Hot printed on it is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until
snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.
For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If
either or both are not connected, an "4E" (no fill) error can occur.
3. Turn on the "HOT" and "COLD "water supply and check the water
valve and the water supply connections for leaks.
