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.
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.
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 3
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.

1.Move the washer/dryer to its final location and remove any cardboard used to move the washer/dryer.
2.Locate the remaining piece of shipping strap. See “Remove Shipping Strap.”
Shipping strap
3.Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the shipping strap (A or B below). Push fastener into the nearest hole in the shipping strap (see illustration above).
ABC
If the water faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the shipping strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose (C above). Push fastener into the nearest hole in the shipping strap (see illustration above).
