water lines and remove

particles that might clog up
the water valve screens.

2.

Remove the inlet hoses and

rubber washers from the

plastic bag and install the
rubber washers in each end

of the inlet hoses.

3,

(90" elbow end) Carefully

connect theinlet hosemarked
"HOT"to theoutside"H"outlet

of the watervalve. Tighten by

hand, then tighten another
2/3 turn withpliers,

Carefully connect the other inlethose 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.

Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD
water faucets tighfiy by hand, then tighten another

2/3 turnwith pliers. Turn the water on and checkfor

leaks.
NOTE: Use only new hoses.

5.

Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers
onthe rear of the washer allow for easy movement in
undercounter installations. Gently liftupon the front of

the washer and slide back.
NOTE: Liftingup more than 1/8"will engage the rear

legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door
to liftwasher.

6.

With the washer in its final position, place a level on
top of the washer (if an undercounter installation, no
rocking of the washer should exist). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is

restingsolid.Turn the lock nutsoneach leguptowards
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.

The washer is designed to operate resting on itsrear
rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, the rear
leveling legs may have to be extended. For
undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment is

accessible through the front service panel.

hose pointedtoward the drain. Place in a laundry tub

or standpipe and secure with the cable tie provided in
the enclosure package.

NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe

without forming a U shape, a siphoning action

could occur. There must be an air gap around

the drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause

a siphoning action.

8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at a circuit

breaker/fuse box before plugging the power
