Connect Inlet Hoses to Water Faucets
1. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling until it is
seated on washer. Repeat process for cold water.
2. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with
a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.
4. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount
of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve
when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
Clear Water Lines
@
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
@
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on
the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
