WARNING

Supplies

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

NOTE: If 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.

B Right Dryer Side 1 in. (2.54 cm)

C Dryer Top 6 in. (15.24 cm)

D Dryer Rear 4 in. (10.2 cm)

Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation Area

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

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: Position and Level the Unit

Position unit so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing. Refer to Figure 2.

NOTE: Shaded areas indicate adjacent structure.

Figure 2

SWD795N

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or unit doors

as a handle in the transportation of the unit may cause damage to the dispenser or doors.

Place unit in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Installing the unit on any type of carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures is not recommended.

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the unit is level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top panel. Refer to Figure 3.

Make sure that the unit does not rock. When unit is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of unit base. If these locknuts are not tight, unit will move out of position during operation.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the unit with a 7/8 inch deep well socket. All four legs must rest

firmly on the floor so the weight of the unit is evenly distributed. The unit must not rock and must be level from side-to-side and front-to-back.

NOTE: Do not slide unit across floor once the leveling legs have been extended. Legs and base could become damaged.

Figure 3

If unit is not level, tilt unit to access the front and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling legs, prop up unit with a wooden block. Refer to Figure 4. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs by screwing into

Place rubber feet (supplied in accessories bag) on all four leveling legs. Refer to Figure 3.

Verify that unit does not rock.

or out of unit base.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

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

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit (51° Celsius) and hot surfaces.

W748

WARNING

HOT

COLD

Water Supply

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

80 maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit

Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold

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

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.

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 5. 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 6.

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.

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.

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 monthly 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.

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 7).

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:
