hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need
additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and
Parts."
It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the
drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that
will avoid the drain hose coming out of and leaking from the
plumbing/drain.

Connect Inlet Hoses

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses
with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you
must use a Y-adapter (not provided).
8. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten hose or use tape or
sealants on valve. Damage to the valves can result.
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on washer. Use adjustable pliers to tighten
couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with
second hose for cold water faucet.
