8. Remove drain hose form (floor drain installations only) Connect Inlet Hoses Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers. Do not use old hoses. NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valves. For optimal performance, hot and cold water must be supplied to the washer. 10. C onnect inlet hoses to water faucets For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Alternative Parts". 9. Place drain hose in standpipe Drain hose form 4.5" (113 mm) Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub. IMPORTANT: Only 41⁄2" (113 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly. 11. Clear water lines Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear. 7
