LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Select proper location for your washer to improve performance and minimize noise and possible “washer walk”. Install your washer in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer. ■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of ■

where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements”.

Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft. (900 mm) ■ of the hot and cold water ll valves, and water pressure of 200 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

Level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire ■ washer. Installing the washer on carpet is not recommended.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 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 qualied electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is ■ recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. ■ Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure ■

the washer is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. ■

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE SHIPPING BASE AND PACKING RING

1. Remove shipping base

and packing ring

Place cardboard supports from shipping carton on oor 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.

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 oor damage during installation, set the washer onto cardboard before moving across the oor.

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.

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

IMPORTANT: Proper connection of the drain hose helps

to avoid water leakage and damage to your oors. The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.

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

CONNECT INLET HOSES

Insert new at washers

A B

A. Coupling B. Washer

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose form. For a oor 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 1/2" (114 mm) beyond the form.

3. Place drain hose in standpipe

4.5"

(113 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.

Insert new at washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

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

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.
