2. Water Inlet Connection
Connect the provided intake hose to the water inlet on the back of the washing machine. The other end of the intake hose connects to your water source. Ensure only cold water is supplied to the machine. Hand-tighten the connections, then use pliers for a slight additional turn to prevent leaks without overtightening.
3. Drain Hose Setup
Attach the flexible drain hose to the drain outlet at the bottom rear of the machine. The drain hose must be positioned higher than the water level inside the machine to ensure proper drainage. Do not position the drain hose on the ground. It can be directed into a sink, standpipe, or laundry tub. The hose features a loop to facilitate proper positioning.
4. Power Connection
Plug the machine's three-prong power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (110 Volts).
5. Initial Test Run
Before washing clothes, perform a test run. Load the machine with approximately 3.5 pounds of clothing (e.g., two large towels) and run a rinse and spin cycle without detergent. This verifies proper water intake, drainage, and machine balance.
