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.
4. Attach the cold water hose to the top inlet valve.

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove
cardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by
removing three 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 t
he access area. Replace access panel
upon completion of washer/dryer installation.
Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount
of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water 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.
Secure Drain Hose
1. Move the washer/dryer to its final location and remove any
cardboard used to move the washer/dryer.
2. Locate the plastic strap included in the parts package.
Plastic strap
3. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with
the plastic strap (A or B below) and secure.
If the water faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put
the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly
wrap the plastic strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose (C above).
