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: Position Washer Near Installation Area

IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This allows room for attaching exhaust duct.

Move washer so that it is within 1,2 meters (4 feet) of desired area of installation.

Step 2: 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 newly constructed or renovated building, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during construction.

Remove the two filter screens and the two plain rubber washers from accessories bag, and install them according to Figure 3.

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

Figure 2

D772I

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

IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately.

Installation

Washers elevated above floor level must be anchored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The material used to elevate the washer should also be anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will not walk or that the washer can not be physically pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Failure to do so may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING

Step 4: Position and Level the Washer

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

Loosen 7/8 inch locknut and adjust the front and rear leveling legs until the washer is level from side to side and front to back (using a level). Washer should not rock.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top panel. Refer to Figure 10.

Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer base using the 7/8 inch wrench. If the locknuts are not

tight, washer will move out of position during operation.

NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base could become damaged.

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door as a handle in the transportation of the washer may cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on all four leveling legs.

Verify that washer does not rock.

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.

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.

Water Supply Requirements

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

Installation

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 16° to 27° Celsius (60° to 80° Fahrenheit).

Hot:

Recommended hot water temperature is 49° to 60° Celsius (120° to 140° 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.)

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 and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.

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:
