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.
