Connect Inlet Hoses IMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet hoses have flat washers at both ends. Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without washers. 7.

Connect inlet hoses to water faucets 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 the 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 hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use adjustable pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve. 11. Check for leaks IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. Attach the hose labeled hot to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use adjustable pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with the hose labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly. HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.
