water lines and remove particles that might clog up the water
valve screens.
Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the plastic
bag and install the rubber washers in each end of the inlet
hoses.
Carefully connect the inlet hosemarked "HOT" to the outside
"H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the other inlet
hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by
hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not
crossthread or over-tighten these connections.
