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.
NOTE:
The hot water connection on this washer is located on the left
and the cold water connection is located on the right.
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.
Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook or to
the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from
moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
The standpipe must be no shorter than 39 in (99cm) and no
longer than 96 in (245 cm).
Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and
the standpipe is not airtight.
