Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet

1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold water supply hose and connect to the cold water supply
intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink’s cold water faucet and tighten
it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the washing machine end by
loosening the fitting,rotating the hose, and retightening the fitting.
Option:
1. Take the red L-shaped arm fitting for the hot water supply hose and connect to the red hot water
supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
2. Connect the other end of the hot water supply hose to your sink’s hot water faucet and tighten it
by hand.
