Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the flat washers have been placed 
into the hose couplings.
1. Attach the hot water hose to the washer’s hot (H) water inlet 
valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the 
washer. 
2. Attach the cold water hose to the washer’s cold (C) water 
faucet. 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. Damage to the coupling can result.
4. Turn on the water faucets completely and check for leaks.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the 
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement 
dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, 
wear, or leaks are found.
Route the Drain Hose
Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floor from damage 
due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.
Remove drain hose from the washer 
Gently pull the corrugated drain hose from the shipping clips. 
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose. 
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not straighten the drain hose, and 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.
Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and 
Parts.”
Secure the Drain Hose
1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2. Move the washer to its final location.
3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown. 
See illustrations A and B.
4. If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, 
put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as 
shown. See illustration C. 
NOTES:
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the 
washer.
To avoid siphoning, do not seal or put more than 4½"
 
(114 mm) of the drain hose into drainpipe or standpipe.
