Connect the Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these
instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside
of the washer cabinet.
Remove drain hose from washer cabinet
Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the
top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose untilthe end emerges.
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connecting the drain hose "hook" to the corrugated drain
hose
1. Open the yellow single-wire clamp and slide over the end of
the drain hose about 4 in. (10.2 cm) (Pliers optional.)
2. Wet the outside end of the drain hose with tap water. Do not
use any other lubricant.
3. Twist and push the "hook" back and forth while pushing
down onto the drain hose. Continue until the "hook" is down
to the enlarged diameter of the drain hose.
4. Open the yellow single-wire clamp (placed on the drain hose
earlier) and slide over the base of the drain hose "hook" to
secure the sections together. (Pliers optional.)
5. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate "hook" to eliminate kinks.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1. Insert a new flat washer (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the
washer.

valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.

thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
• Do not straighten hooked end of the drain hose and 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
Do not install the drain hose "hook" on to the corrugated drain
hose. You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under
"Alternate Parts You May Need.")
