NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.

Damage to the valves can result.

Clear Water Lines

n Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a

laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

n Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the

hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

INSTALLING STACKED WASHER/DRYER

Route Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose avoids damage to your oor due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

Remove drain hose from the washer drum

1. Using locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together

and insert over the end of the drain hose.

2. Slide the drain hose onto the washer connection.

3. Once the drain hose is in place, release the pliers.

4. The washer drain system can be installed using a oor drain,

wall standpipe, oor standpipe, or laundry tub.

Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose. Snap either end of the drain hose form to the

drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins.

Secure Drain Hose

1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.

2. Move the washer to its nal location.

3. Place the drain hose

in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown.

4. Secure the drain hose

using the supplied beaded tie strap.

41/2"

(114 mm)

41/2"

(114 mm)

Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.

NOTE: Hose must not extend more than 1" (25 mm) past the end of the U bend.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

n Do not straighten the drain hose; do not force excess

drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

n Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. See “Alternate Parts.”

5. If the washer faucets and the

drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as shown.

NOTES:

n Do not force excess drain hose

back into the rear of the washer.

n To avoid siphoning, do not

seal the drain hose into the standpipe.

WASHER DRAIN SYSTEM

(762 mm)

The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system (oor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the oor drain

system.

Standpipe drain system – wall or oor

The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (51 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 10 gal. (38 L) per minute.

Wall

The top of the standpipe must be at least 30" (762 mm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.
