2. Attach the cold water hose to the check valve on washer's
cold (C) water inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is
seated on the check valve.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
4. Turn on the water taps completely and check for leaks.
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.

1. Use locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together and
insert over the end of drain hose.
2. Slide drain hose onto washer connection.
3. Once drain hose is in place, release pliers.
Washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall
standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Use the drain hose form, and do not force excess drain hose
■
into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to
provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and
Parts."
