NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the

valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the 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.

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 strap from the power cord. Drape the

power cord over the console.

2. Remove any cardboard used to move washer.

Beaded tie strap

3. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or drain standpipe

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.
