A small amount of water might enter the wash-
er. 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 fu-
ture 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.

leg, drain standpipe or inlet hoses, with
the beaded tie strap. Push fastener into
the nearest hole in the beaded tie strap.
