Check for leaks
8.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.
1.Drape the power cord over the console.
2.Remove any cardboard used to move washer.
