Remove Foam Packing

1. Open the washer lid. The latch under the dryer will keep the lid

open.

2. Pull the foam packing ring out of the washer.

NOTE: Keep the foam ring and use it when transporting your

washer/dryer. This packing material is used to keep the washer

tub stable during transport.

Connect Drain Hose

Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from

damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from

coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the

following instructions:

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must

be followed exactly.

1. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap

water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to

open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose

¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.

4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto

drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until

hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.

5. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.

For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems

1. Make sure drain hose form is in correct position.

2. Put the hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or

standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

■ Do not 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.

For use with floor drain

Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose.

You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and

Parts.”

Connect Inlet Hoses

1. Insert a new flat washer into each end of the inlet hoses (not

provided). Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer basket is empty.

1. Attach hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by

hand until it is seated on the washer.

2. Attach hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by

hand until it is seated on the washer.

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-

thirds turn.

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

Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

■ 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.

■ 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.
