Amana NFW5800DW Quick Setup Guide

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry  

tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run  

until clear.

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 “Alternate Parts”.

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of   

laundry tub.

IMPORTANT: Only 4.5" (114 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.

IMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet  

hoses have flat washers at both ends. Washer must be  

connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat  

washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use 

hoses without washers.

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. In most 

standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other 

when attached correctly.
