CONNECT INLET HOSES
Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet
hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing
to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water
faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not included).
1.
Insert washer into each hose
Washer
Insert a new flat washer into each end of the inlet hoses
(not provided). Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
2.
Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an
additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose
for cold water faucet.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot
water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most
standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other
when attached correctly.

3.
Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub,
drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear.
4.
Connect inlet hoses to washer
Attach hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Screw
coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten
couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold
water inlet valve (top valve).
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses
every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates
for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
n
wear, or leaks are found.
5.
Move washer/dryer to final location
Outer Access Panel
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 outer access panel by
removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at
the top of the access panel. Remove inner access panel by
removing clip, cover, and 2 screws. Set panels, screws,
clip, inner access panel cover, and bumper aside. Complete
hookup of water hoses and vent. Replace access panels upon
completion of washer/dryer installation.
