Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these
instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside
the washer cabinet.
Remove drain hose from washer
cabinet
Gently pull the corrugated
drain hose out of the washer from the
top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges.
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connect
the inlet hoses to the water
faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
2. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the hot water faucet.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the cold water
faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is 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.

A. Snap either end of the drain hose form to the drain hose at the
point where the corrugation
begins.
B. Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
•
Do not straighten the formed end of the drain hose and 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.
Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain
hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor Drain under
"Tools and Parts."

7.
Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT water (right)
inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is 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.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
