NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
Clear Water Lines
n 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.
n 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.
20
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.
NOTE: Hose must not extend more than 1" (25 mm) past the end of the U bend.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
n Do not straighten the drain hose; do not force excess
drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
n Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See “Alternate Parts.”
5. If the washer faucets and the
drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as shown.
NOTES:
n Do not force excess drain hose
back into the rear of the washer.
n To avoid siphoning, do not
seal the drain hose into the standpipe.
