Installing the Washer

NOTE: If the washer 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 washer has had a chance to warm up.

Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and Shipping Plug

1

NOTE: Do not tilt washer to front or sides when moving.

The shipping brace and plug should be saved and must be reinstalled whenever washer is moved or transported to a new location. This will prevent damage to washer components.

NOTE: Refer to your Use and Care Guide for instructions on reinstalling shipping brace and shipping plug.

Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub

Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner or a detergent and water solution and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply Requirements before connecting fill hoses.

The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused.

Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could clog the filter screens in the fill hoses, or the screens in the water mixing valve.

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

Remove the two screened filter washers and the two plain rubber washers from accessories bag, and install them according to Figure 4.

IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger-tight, then approximately 1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross thread or overtighten couplings.

Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found, retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and rechecking until no leaks are found.

Step 4: 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.

Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are appropriate for your type of drain receptacle (standpipe, high standpipe, low standpipe, sink, wall, or laundry tub). Follow these instructions to properly install the drain hose.

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

Standpipe Installation

Place the adapter into the standpipe.

Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories bag and place around standpipe and drain hose, approximately 30 cm (12 inches) down from the top of pipe and tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. This will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain receptacle during use.

IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place any ribbed portion of the drain hose into the standpipe.

Step 5: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing.

Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.

Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting is not recommended.

Loosen 7/8 inch locknuts and adjust the two front leveling legs. Once adjusted, tilt the unit forward on front legs and lower back down into position to set the rear self-leveling legs.

Washer must not rock. After washer is at desired height, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of washer base. If these locknuts are not tight, washer will not remain stationary during operation.

Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will cause excessive vibration.

Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base could become damaged.

Recheck to make sure washer does not rock.

Step 6: Plug In the Washer

Refer to section on Electrical Requirements, and plug the washer in.

W504SE3B

Figure 13

Step 7: Add Water to the Washer

To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer is run before any water is added, the pump seal may overheat causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the water retained in the drain system from the previous cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump seal damage.

Step 8: Check Lid Switch

Washer should stop spinning when lid is opened.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipmentearthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the washer is properly earthed.

W218

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, all wiring and earthing MUST conform with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring, fuses and circuit breakers checked by a qualified electrician to make sure your home has adequate electrical power to operate the washer.

W129

DO NOT OVERLOAD CIRCUITS DO NOT USE ADAPTER DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

D009I

Do not modify the plug provided with the washer – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading is measured other than that illustrated, the qualified electrician should correct the problem.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Earthing Instructions

The washer must be earthed. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and a 3 prong earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Water Supply Requirements

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

NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 -14 BSP metric female couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

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

Water Temperature

Cold:

Recommended cold water temperature is 10° to 24° Celsius (50° to 75° Fahrenheit).

Hot:

Recommended hot water temperature is 60° to 66° Celsius (140° to 150° Fahrenheit).

Warm :

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

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: A longer fill hose is available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hose (supplied with the washer) is not long enough for the installation. Order hose as follows:

Water Pressure

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

NOTE: For water pressure over 827 kPa (120 pounds per square inch) we recommend the installation of a pressure limiting valve (Part Number PSL50DK). This item may be purchased by calling 1300 652 100.

NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 pounds per square inch) will cause an extended fill time in the washer.

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 19).
