Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

1.Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers.

2.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 or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

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 access panel by removing three Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at the top of the access panel. Set panel, screws, and bumper aside. Complete hookup of water hoses and (on gas models) the flexible gas connector through the access area. Replace access panel upon completion of washer/dryer installation.

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 water 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.

The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
