INSTALLING THE WASHER
7. Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with
the hose pointed toward the drain. Place the hose
in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with
the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.
NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could
occur. There must be an air gap around the drain hose.
A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.
Cable Tie
8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at a
circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into an outlet.
