Before You Start

Supplies

For most installations, the basic supplies you will need are:

WARNING

Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must be performed by a suitably qualified service person.

W299

NOTE: If the the unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the unit has had a chance to warm up.

NOTE: Some moisture in the wash drum is normal. Water is used during testing at the manufacturer.

Installation

Water Supply

Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation Area

Move unit as close to the desired area of installation as possible.

WARNING

Washer and dryer are not designed to be operated as separated, side-by-side units.

W187

NOTE: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install washer on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures.

Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses

WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period and before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

W029

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 60

Fahrenheit (16o to 27o Celsius). Recommended

hot water temperature is 120

(49

to 60o Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot

to 140o Fahrenheit

and cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the washer and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.

Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign material that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve.

NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or renovated buildings, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during construction.

802715

Connecting Hoses

Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens from the accessories bag. Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 2. The screen must be facing outward.

Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.

Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to Figure 3.

IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten couplings. This will cause them to leak.

Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them until there are no leaks.

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

COLD

HOT

IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subject to.

All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced every five years.

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses supplied with the washer are not long enough for the installation.

Order hoses as follows:

Risers

Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (refer to Figure 4).

Step 3: Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle

Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the retainer clamp and by removing the shipping tape.

Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle (standpipe, wall or laundry tub) following the instructions below.

IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of handling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch (32 cm) outside diameter drain hose.

Standpipe Installation:

Place the drain hose into the standpipe.

Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure 5. This will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain receptacle during use.
