CAUTION

The water supply hoses are not supplied with your washer and must be purchased separately. Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose.
Installing the water supply hoses without rubber gaskets can cause water leakage.
When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and may damage your property.
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses together to increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock.
If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.

Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.
Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
CAUTION
When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can damage the fittings.
After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.
Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses.
Close the faucets before continuing.
Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.
CAUTION
The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.
Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
CAUTION
Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent.
If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to the water leakage.
To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the HOT and COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an error code can occur.
If you do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole.
In this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water temperature.
Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.
