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 washer faucets
using the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
1. Move the laundry center to its final location and remove any
cardboard used to move the laundry center.
2. Locate the remaining piece of shipping strap. See "Remove
Shipping Strap."
