CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
• IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the
washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.
• IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided by
Kenmore. Aftermarket hosesare not guaranteed to fit or
function correctly. Other hosesmay not tighten correctly
and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product
or property will not be covered under the terms of the
product warranty.
• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and
116 psi (100-800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is
more than 116psi, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can
result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures
prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature
for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to
operation.

2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten
another 2/3turn with pliers.

3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each inlet
hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out of the
water lines. Doing so will help prevent future problems
with clogged filter screens, and will also allow you to
verify which hose is hot and which is cold.
Hot water inlet
\
Attach the (red) hot water line to the hot water inlet on
the back of the washer. Attach the (blue) cold water
line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both faucets
all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the
hoses.
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the hose
fittings. This will damage the valve and could result in
property damage from leaks.
