NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your
local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage
to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a
certified technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Make sure the washer drum is empty. The washer must be
connected to the water faucets using new inlet hoses (not
provided). Do not use old hoses.
Insert new flat washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly
seat the washers in the couplings.
1. Attach a hose to the hot (left) inlet valve. Attaching to the hot
inlet valve first makes it easier to tighten connection with
pliers. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer.
2. Attach a hose to the cold (right) water inlet valve. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings
already attached to the washer.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
4. Attach hot water hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
5. Attach cold water hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
6. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
7. Turn on the water faucets 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.
