Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

Insert new flat washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings. A B A. Coupling B.

Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air. =1 Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub. IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of drain hose should be inside the standpipe. The drain hose form must be used. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap.

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. 2°o3121 Floor drain Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose.
