Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without washers. 10. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear. 12.

Repeat with cold water inlet valve. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference. ■■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. NOTE: Inlet valves may be arranged vertically or horizontally depending on your model. 13. Check for leaks Turn on water faucets to check for leaks from faucet and at washer connection.
