Secure Drain Hose; Plan Vent System - Whirlpool W10222387A Installation Instructions Manual

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove
cardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by
removing three Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at
the top of the access panel. Set panel, screws, and bumper aside.
Complete hookup of water hoses and (on gas models) the flexible
gas connector through the access area. Replace access panel
upon completion of washer/dryer installation.
Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount
of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water 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.
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.
The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using
the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
