Figure 17

Drain Facilities

IMPORTANT: The drain hose installation is a very important factor in the washer installation. If care is not taken when the drain hose is installed, a siphoning action can be started which will cause water to be siphoned from the washer during the cycle.

End of drain hose should never be in water as siphoning action can be started that will cause water to be siphoned back into the washer.

The curved end of drain hose MUST be installed even with or above the height of the cabinet top of the washer to prevent siphoning (refer to Figure 18). If the drain facility is lower than the cabinet top, a siphon break kit, Part No. 562P3, must be installed in the drain hose to prevent this siphoning action and drain hose MUST be cut to fit the washer installation (refer to Figure 7). Use one No. 25863 Hose Coupling to splice hose. The No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No. 25863 Hose Coupling are available as optional equipment at extra cost.

The standpipe or drain receptacle must be capable of handling a minimum of 3,8 cm (1-1/2 inches) outside diameter drain hose. The drain hose should fit loose within the standpipe (it should not be a snug fit). Never install the drain hose into a “sealed” drain system as air cannot escape and will restrict the water from being drained from the washer. A sealed drain system may also allow water to be pumped back into the washer during agitation. Both of these conditions may result in flooding of the washer.

Operation

Operation Instructions for Electromechanical Washers

IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an allpurpose cleaner or a detergent and water solution and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

Step 1: Add Detergent

Pour measured amount of detergent into washtub. See package directions.

NEVER POUR UNDILUTED BLEACH DIRECTLY ON LAUNDRY. Follow package directions when using bleach.

If desired, fabric softener may be added to rinse water when RINSE light comes on.

Step 2: Load Laundry

Load dry clothes loosely into washtub – DO NOT overload!

When washing large items such as shag rugs and bedspreads, add several small items to balance wash load.
