For detailed information, refer to “Connecting the Water (Steam Models Only)” in the Installation sections of the Use & Care manual provided with this laundry center.

Connecting the Water line (washer)

• Skip steps 1 and 2 below if this model has a steam dryer.
• Inlet hoses are not included and MUST be purchased separately.

1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the water valve screens and to determine which faucet is hot and which is cold supply.

2. Check to ensure that the inlet hoses have the rubber washer firmly in place.

3. Connect the HOT hose to the RED connection on the washer and the COLD hose to the BLUE connection on the washer. Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten each supply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread or over-tighten these connections.

4.  Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD water supply, or to the “Y” connector (section 3) if this is a steam model.

For detailed information, refer to “Connecting the Water” in the Installation sections of the Use & Care manual provided with this laundry center.

Connecting the Drain (Washer)

1. Verify the anti-siphon disc is in place.

2.  Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain.
   Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a standpipe and secure the drain hose with the cable tie (provided in the enclosure package) to the standpipe, inlet hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull out from the force of the water.

3. Run the washer through a complete cycle, checking for water leaks and proper operation.

NOTE
The standpipe inside diameter must be 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) minimum. There must be an air gap around the drain hose in the standpipe. A snug hose fit can cause a siphoning action.
For detailed information, refer to “Connecting the Drain” in the Installation sections of the Use & Care manual provided with this laundry center.
