Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching
the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection
with pliers.
2. 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.

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the laundry center into its final position and remove
cardboard from under laundry center. Remove the access panel
by removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at
the top of the access panel. Set panel, screws and bumper aside.
Complete hookup of water hoses and (on gas models) the flexible
gas connector through the access area. Replace access panel
upon completion of laundry center installation.
Check for leaks
7. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small
amount 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.
• 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 water faucets using
the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
