Connect Inlet Hoses to Washer
1. Attach cold water hose to cold water inlet valve marked
with a blue ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.
2. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked
with a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.
3. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.
4. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of
water may enter washer. It will drain later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after five 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.

equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
earthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
