Check for leaks
• Turn on the water faucets and check for
leaks. A small amount of water might en-
ter the washer. You will drain this in a later
step.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of
use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record
hose installation or replacement dates for fu-
ture reference.
• If you connect only one water hose, you
must cap off the remaining water inlet
port.
• Periodically inspect and replace hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are
found.

SECURE THE DRAIN HOSE

1. Drape the power cord over the console.
2. Remove any cardboard used to move
washer.
3. Fasten the drain hose to the laundry tub
leg or drain standpipe with the beaded tie
strap. See view A or B.

If the washer faucets and the drain stand-
pipe are recessed, put the formed end of
