For use with floor drain

Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose.

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

Parts.”

Connect the 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.

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

hand until it is seated on the washer.

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

hand until it is seated on the washer.

4. 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 bucket

or 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.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching

the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection

with pliers.

2. 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.

4. Attach the cold water hose to the top inlet valve.

5. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

6. 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.

If you are working in a closet or recessed area

Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove

cardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by

removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at the

top of the access panel. Set panel, screw, and bumper aside.

Complete hookup of water hoses. Replace access panel upon

completion of washer/dryer installation.

Check for leaks

■ Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount

of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water later.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk

of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for

future reference.

■ If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the

remaining water inlet port.

■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.

■ The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using

the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.

Secure the Drain Hose

1. Move the washer/dryer to its final location and remove any

cardboard used to move the washer/dryer.

2. Locate the remaining piece of shipping strap. See “Remove

Shipping Strap.”

Shipping strap

3. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with

the shipping strap (A or B below). Push fastener into the

nearest hole in the shipping strap (see illustration above).

If the water faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put

the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly

wrap the shipping strap around the water inlet hoses and the

drain hose (C above). Push fastener into the nearest hole in

the shipping strap (see illustration above).
