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.
m If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
m Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
