Ok, so like two days ago they delivered our washing machine…yeeesssss…THANK YOU to Amberly’s grandparents church for providing us with the money to get one!!!! Clean clothes are a good thing, and we haven’t seen any in quite some time I’m afraid. So, tonight we get home from being out at like 9:00, we talked to Marsha on the phone for a little while and then Amberly takes a shower and I am online talking to
Amberly (after taking a shower): I really need to do my homework. Let’s play with the washing machine. (as if this is all one thought)
Me: (laughing at her and relaying the comment to
Amberly (in the bathroom messing with the washing machine): It just occurred to me…you have to hook this up to the water somehow.
Me: yeah…
Amberly: How?
Me: (silent, yeah right I know how…)
Me: NO, sir, do not even go there!
Me: IN RUSSIAN. Freak.
Me: I am holding the instruction manual. It’s not.
Me: I don’t know, it’s from Metro.
Amberly (to Me, not typed to
Me (to
So, there you have it, an account of the night we didn’t hook up our washing machine. But, NOT, I tell you, because we are girls, but because we can’t read Russian and we don’t want to break our precious washing machine before we even get to use it :o)
Soon. Soon we will have clean clothes. :o)

I'm wondering if you can go online with the brand of washer & select English or something......like I know you can on some appliance in America you can go online select French or whatever.......
See, those numbers mean nothing to me. 220 what? Puppies? Horseflies? Excuses to sleep in tomorrow? Never mind.
Perhaps this will help:
How to Install Washing Machine
Pipes required for the washer installation include hot and cold hose bibb valves, and drain hose standpipe.
1. Thread standard hose bibb valves into the brass female threaded winged fitting of the hot and cold supply lines. These will connect to the washer with a rubber hose.
2. A 2" drain standpipe is installed with a trap above the floor for the waste line. Usually this is between 6 to 12 inches above the floor.
3. Install the hot and cold hose bibb valves and drain hose pipe so that they can be reached when the machine is in place. The drain standpipe should always be taller than your highest water level in the machine to add protection from back-up water and siphoning. These are usually pre-fabricated 2 inch pipes (designed to fit into a standard 2-inch drain pipe) that have a built in trap and are available from your dealer in several lengths. Commonly, they are 34" or longer but check your local code* for length and diameter required in your area.
4. Hook up the water supply line. Put washers into the washer end of the hose and hand tighten. Then give a 1/4 turn with pliers to tighten the hose to the machine. Connect hot to hot and cold to cold.
5. Use a filter washer, with the screen facing out, at the ends that connect to the hose bib valves at the hot and cold water supply lines.
6. Set the drain hose into the standpipe. Secure the hose to the drain pipe with duct tape to prevent it from coming out.
7. Level the washing machine by adjusting the legs under the machine.
Or here's one more:
Hook up that new washer like an old pro. Here is how it's done.
Steps:
1. Be sure that the cord to the washer will reach the outlet. If it doesn't, call a licensed electrician to move the outlet or install a longer cord.
2. Check to make sure the drain hose will reach the drainpipe. If it's too short, buy a new one made by the manufacturer.
3. Turn off the breaker feeding the washer outlet.
4. Be sure that the floor is clean and dry.
5. Fasten the drain hose to the washer with a hose clamp. Be sure not to tighten it too much or you might strip the screw.
6. Attach the water hoses to the washer. The hot and cold on the taps and on the washer are usually clearly marked. Red indicates hot; blue indicates cold.
7. Plug the washing machine in, and move it into place placing the drain hose in the drainpipe when you can reach it.
8. Push the washer the rest of the way into the space, being careful not to crimp the hoses.
9. Leave about an inch and a half of space around the washer to allow room for it to vibrate.
10. Turn the water faucets on.
11. Turn the breaker back on.
12. Run a cycle without clothes or detergent before you use the machine to clear the water pipes and make sure the drainage is adequate.
And their owner tip is:
Place your owner's manual in a plastic bag, and tape the bag to the side of the washer.
Except, I don't think that's gonna help you much...
Love ya!
