3 CONNECT WATER
FILL HOSES TO
FAUCETS
Before connecting hoses to water
supply, turn on faucets and flush
lines for approximately 2 minutes to
remove foreign matter that could
clog filter screens in water mixing
valve or fill hoses.
Tightly push one screened filter
washer onto remaining end of each
water fill hose. Attach water hoses
to HOT and COLD faucets. BE
SURE HOT WATER HOSE IS
CONNECTED TO HOT WATER
FAUCET.
Tighten hose connections by hand
until snug, then another 1/4 turn
with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or
over-tighten couplings.
Turn on water and check for leaks.
If leaks are found, retighten hose
couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.

Remove drain hose from shipping
position on rear of washer by
unhooking hose from retainer
clamp. Use beaded tie-down strap
to secure “hook” end of drain hose
to standpipe, wall inlet hoses, or
laundry tub (must hold at least 20
gallons).
IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning,
do not place ribbed portion of drain
hose into standpipe. Avoid air-tight
seal around standpipe adapter.
For standpipe installation below 36"
(91.4 cm), install Siphon Break Kit
part #562P3.
For standpipe installation above 48"
(121.2 cm), install a check valve to
prevent water from flowing back into
washer. Available from local hard-
ware store.
