Installation Instructions
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
flush the water lines and remove particles that might
clog the inlet hose and water valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses from the packaging (whether
supplied with the washer or sold separately).
3.
(90° elbow end) Ensure there is a
rubber washer in the 90° elbow end of
the HOT and COLD hoses. Reinstall
the rubber washer into the hose fitting
if it has fallen out during shipment.
Carefully connect the inlet hose
marked 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.
4. If inlet hose screen washers are not
already inserted into the inlet hoses,
install them by inserting into the free
ends of the HOT and COLD inlet hoses
with protruded side facing the faucet.
5. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD
water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3
turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.
6. Carefully move the washer to its final location.
Gently rock the washer into position. It is important
not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving
your washer to its final location. Damaged legs
can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful to
spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your
washer into its final position.
NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber
leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull
on the back right and then back left of your washer.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to
lift the washer.
NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can
use a 24-inch long 2x4 to lever the washer into place.
7. With the washer in its final position,
place a level on top of the washer
(if the washer is installed under
a counter, the washer should not
be able to rock). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure
the washer is resting solidly. Turn
the lock nuts on each leg up toward
the base of the washer and snug
with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at
a minimum to prevent excessive
vibration. The farther out the
legs are extended, the more the
washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged,
you may have to extend the rear
leveling legs.
INSTALLING THE WASHER
8. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain
hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe
and secure it with the cable tie provided in the
enclosure package.
NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain
pipe can cause a siphoning action. No more than
7 inches of hose should be in the drain pipe. There
must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug fit
can cause a siphoning action.
9. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
cord into an outlet.
10. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
11. Read the rest of this Owner’s Manual. It contains
valuable and helpful information that will save you
time and money.
12. Before starting the washer, check to make sure:
Main power is turned on.
The washer is plugged in.
The water faucets are turned on.
The unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly
on the floor.
The shipping support hardware is removed
and saved.
The drain hose is properly tied up.
There are no leaks at the faucet, drain line
or washer.
13. Run the washer through a complete cycle.
Check for water leaks and proper operation.
14. If your washer does not operate, please review
the Before You Call For Service section before
calling for service.
15. Place these instructions in a location near the
washer for future reference.
