Remove drain hose form

(floor drain installations only)

For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain

hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need

additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts".

Connect Inlet Hoses

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet

hoses with flat washers (provided). Do not use old hoses.

NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing

to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water

faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (provided).

If you have a hot water faucet, go to step 8a.

If you have only a cold water faucet, go to step 8c.
