9. Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry
tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until
clear.
Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in
attaching hoses to washer correctly.
10. Connect inlet hoses to washer
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the
hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement
dates for future reference.
� Do not overtighten hose or use tape or sealants on valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
� Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
Attach hot water hose to red hot water 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.
11. Check for leaks
Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of
water may enter washer. It will drain later.
12. Secure drain hose
Secure drain hose to laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet
hoses for wall standpipe with cable tie.
It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the
drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that
will avoid the drain hose coming out of or leaking from the
plumbing/drain.
Level Washer
NOTE: Level washer properly to reduce excess noise and
vibration.
13. Check levelness of washer
Move the washer to its final location. Place a level on top
edges of washer. Use side seam as a guide to check
levelness of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as
shown. Rock washer back and forth to make sure all four feet
make solid contact with floor. If washer is level, skip to
step 15.
