marked “H”) to hot water faucet.
Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to
cold water faucet. Tighten coupling

as shown. Repeat with other corner
posts on other side of washer.

Move washer close to final
position. Put “hook” end of drain hose
into standpipe. Estimate length of
drain hose needed when washer is in
final position. Hose must be cut
exactly to length so “hook” end is
held tightly over edge of standpipe. If
drain hose is too long, cut straight end
of hose.
(Do Not cut “hook” shaped
end of drain hose.)
DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF
DRAIN HOSE DOWN THE STANDPIPE.
THIS COULD CAUSE SIPHONING. See
Step 6.

drain connector. Push drain hose onto
washer connector. use pliers to open
clamp and slide clamp over drain
