CONNECT INLET HOSES
The new inlet hoses supplied with this washer must be used.
Do not re-use old inlet hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing
to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water
tap, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided).

Connect hose adapter
Coupling
Insert one new large flat washer into one end of each inlet
hose. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings. Screw on the
hose adapter by hand until it is seated on the washer. Using
pliers, tighten the hose adapter with an additional two-thirds
turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten.
Insert one new small flat washer into the end of the hose
adapter. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
9.
Connect inlet hoses to water taps
Attach the end of the hose with the adapter, labeled hot, to
the hot water tap. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated
on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-
thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water
tap.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to taps or washer. Damage can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot
water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most
standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other
when attached correctly.
10.
Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub,
drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear.

washer
Insert new large flat washers (supplied) into the other ends of
the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
12.
Connect inlet hoses to washer
Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a
red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to
tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with
cold water 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,
n
wear, or leaks are found.

Check for leaks
Turn on water taps to check for leaks. A small amount of
water may enter washer. It will drain later.
