2. Connect drain hose form Connect Inlet Hoses 1. Insert new flat washers For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose form. For a floor drain, do not install drain hose form. You may need alternate parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts" to determine what you may need. Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The hose must extend 4 1/2" (114 mm) beyond the form. 3. Place drain hose in standpipe A B A. Coupling B. Washer Insert new flat washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings. 2. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets 4.5" (113 mm) Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub. IMPORTANT: To keep drain water from going back into the washer: ■■ Do not 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. Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach the hose labeled hot 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 the hose labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly. 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. 3. 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. Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet. 6
