Installing Your Washer Read the installation instructions carefully before beginning. 1. Connect the water inlet hose to the water faucet. Note: The ends of the inlet hose are marked red and yellow. Red goes to washing machine and yellow goes to the faucet. 2. Connect the other ends to the washer inlet located at the top rear of the machine. Insert a new flat washer (provided) to each end of the inlet hose. 3. The drain hose must be placed into a drainpipe or sink at least 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Use the gooseneck drain hook to hold the hose in place. To avoid possible water back-up, the drain hose must reach a height of at least 31-1/2 inches minimum and 40 inches maximum. 4. Plug in the washer to a regular 115 Volt / 60 Hz, 15 Amps outlet. Note: Carefully inspect for any leaks around the machine and at the back. If there is a leak, check if any connections are loose.
