STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be
sure an airtight connection is NOT made
between the drain hose and the standpipe.
The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
Caution must always be exercised to
avoid collapsing or damaging the drain
hose. For best results, the drain hose
should not be restricted in any way – by
elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.
For situations where the drain hose
cannot be conveniently elevated to at
least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must
be supported.
2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fill
hose.
Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet
connections.
On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer
per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make
sure the hose with the Hot printed line is attached to the
HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a
turn with pliers.
3. Connect the other end of the Hot and Cold water supply
hose to the inlet water valve at the rear of the washing
machine.Tighten by hand until snug, then two-thirds of a
turn with pliers.
For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water
valves. If either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fill)
error can occur.
4. Turn on the “HOT” and “COLD “water supply and check all
connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.
