Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub,
drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear.
Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help
in attaching hoses to washer correctly.
8.
Connect inlet hoses to washer
Remove inlet cap and attach hot water hose to hot water (right)
inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers
to tighten couplings an additional 2/3 turn. Repeat with cold
water (left) inlet valve.
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses
every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates
for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
■
wear, or leaks are found.
9.
Check for leaks
Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of
water may enter washer. It will drain later.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap (supplied)
■
off the remaining water inlet port.
