Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve.
2. Attaching the hot water coupling first makes it easier to
tighten connection with pliers.
3. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
4. 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.
5. Attach the cold water hose to the top inlet valve.
6. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
7. 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.
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 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.
Secure the Drain Hose
1. Remove the shipping material from the power cord. Drape the
power cord over the console.
2. Remove any cardboard used to move washer.
3. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg, drain standpipe or
inlet hoses, with the beaded tie strap. Push fastener into the
nearest hole in the beaded tie strap. See view A or B.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed,
put the formed end of the drain hose into the standpipe.
Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose. See view C.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
Install the Front Leveling Feet
1. Prop up the front of the washer about 4" (10.2 cm) with a
wood block or similar object. The block needs to support the
weight of the washer.
