Connect the Inlet Hoses
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in
the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer drum is empty.
1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer.
2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can
result.
Clear water lines
■ Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket,
to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
■ Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to
the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the washer’s hot (H) water inlet valve. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
2. Attach the cold water hose to the washer’s cold (C) water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
4. Turn on the water faucets completely and check for leaks.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record
hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
