INSTALLING THE WASHER
7. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain
hose. 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.
