4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
5. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket
or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that
might clog the inlet valve screens.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
6. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD (left) inlet
valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

7. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT water (right)
inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the
washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Check for leaks
8. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small
amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this
later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
