CONNECTIONS
WATER
Be sure the rubber washer is inside the hose end. Attach the hoses to the
washer (red is HOT, blue is COLD). Tighten them firmly but don’t strip the plastic
threads on the washer connections. The hoses may appear to be mechanically
identical, but the hot hose is rated at a higher temperature and burst strength.
DRAIN
The drain pipe should be firmly attached to the standpipe or the laundry tub or
sink where it drains. The pump has sufficient power to cause the pipe to move
around when the water is expelled. The pump can lift the drain water a maximum
of 96 inches (2.4 m), but there is no minimum height requirement. The vacuum
breaker in the drain line will prevent drainage by gravity or siphoning. The hose
can lay flat into a floor drain as long as the end of it is not submerged.
ELECTRICAL
The WM2496 washer requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz., dedicated, 20-amp circuit.
