Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.)
7. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain
hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe
and secure it with the cable tie provided in the
enclosure package.

without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could
occur. There must be an air gap around the drain hose.
A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.

NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at a
circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into an outlet.
