4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto
drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until
hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.
5. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.
For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems
1. Open the yellow, single-wire clamp and slide over the hooked
end of the drain hose to secure the rubber and corrugated
sections together.
2. Put the hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or
standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
■
Do not straighten hooked 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.
For use with floor drain
Remove the drain hose hook from the corrugated drain hose. You
may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Alternate
Parts.”
Connect Inlet Hoses
1. Insert a new flat washer (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
2. Attach the hose labeled hot to the hot water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Attach the hose labeled cold 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 or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
■
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe or bucket to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
■
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching
the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection
with pliers.
2. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-
thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
4. Attach the cold water hose to the top inlet valve.
5. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
6. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-
thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
