ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
■■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.
■■ This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug.
■■ To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
■■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
■■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded.
■■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before you start: remove shipping materials.
It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.
NOTE: To avoid floor damage during installation, set the washer onto cardboard before moving across the floor.
IMPORTANT:
■■ Be sure the foam shipping base has been removed from the bottom of the washer as directed in the “Remove Shipping Base and Packing Ring” section.
■■ If foam shipping base has not been removed, be sure lid is secured with tape before laying washer on its back.
■■ Removing the foam shipping base is necessary for proper operation.
REMOVE SHIPPING BASE
AND PACKING RING
1. Remove shipping base and packing ring |
Place cardboard supports from shipping carton on floor behind washer for support. Secure the lid with tape. Using two or more people, tip the washer onto its back and place on cardboard supports. Remove foam shipping base. Then, set washer back upright, and remove the tape from the lid so that you can open the lid and remove the foam packing ring from the washer tub.
NOTE: Keep foam packing ring in case you need to move the washer in the future.
CONNECT DRAIN HOSE
IMPORTANT: Proper connection of the drain hose helps to avoid water leakage and damage to your floors. The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.
1. Remove drain hose from washer cabinet |
Gently pull hose out of back of washer cabinet from top until end emerges.
IMPORTANT: Do not force excess drain hose back into rear of washer.
2. Connect drain hose form
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose form. For a floor drain, do not install drain hose form. You may need alternate parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts” to determine what you may need.
Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The hose must extend 4.5" (114 mm) beyond the form.
7
3. Place drain hose in standpipe |
4.5" |
(114 mm) |
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
CONNECT INLET HOSES
1. Insert new flat washers
A B
A.Coupling
B.Washer
IMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet hoses have flat washers at both ends. Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without washers.
2. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets |
Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach the hose labeled hot to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with the hose labeled cold for the cold water faucet. Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.

3. Clear water lines |
5. Check for leaks |
|
|
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear. Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Turn on water faucets to check for leaks from faucet and at washer connection. A small amount of water may enter washer. You will drain this in a later step.
4. Connect inlet hoses to washer |
Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve. Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
NOTE: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

LEVEL WASHER
IMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise and vibration.
1. Move washer to final location
Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, your model may be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the right front foot to level the washer. If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may be needed to level the washer on your floor.
2. Adjust front leveling foot
3. Check levelness of washer |
|
Placelevellevelherehere |
Placelevellevelherehere |
Check the levelness of the washer. First, place a level on the lid near the console. Then place the level on the side of the washer in the crease between the top of the washer and the cabinet.
For washers with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot up to an additional 1 1/2 turns.
Not Level |
LEVEL |
Not Level |
4. Adjust levelness of washer |
|
|
If the washer is not level, move the washer out slightly, tip back
and prop up the front of the washer with a wood block. Adjust the right front foot by loosening the locknut with a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end wrench, then twisting the foot up or down as needed. After the washer is level, make sure all 4 feet are in firm contact with the floor by gently rocking it back and forth and side to side. Adjust the feet if necessary, then using the
wrench again, turn the locknuts counterclockwise on the foot to tighten to the washer cabinet.
HELPFUL TIP: You may have to adjust the back feet to level the washer. If you are installing the washer in a tight or hard-to- reach area, you may have to move the washer out to reach the feet comfortably. You may wish to lock the back feet before moving the washer back into place.
IMPORTANT: If the locknuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
