7. Remove drain hose form (floor drain installations only) 9. Clear water lines For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts". Connect Inlet Hoses Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided). 8. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear. 10. Connect inlet hoses to washer 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. In most standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve. IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference. n Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. 11. Check for leaks Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later. 6
