WARNING

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 V, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 or 20 A, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

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.

Before you start: Remove shipping materials. It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper

operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

1. Move washer

Move washer to within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of its nal location; it must be in a fully upright position.

NOTE: To avoid oor damage, set washer onto cardboard before moving it and make sure lid is taped shut.

2. Remove shipping base

To avoid damaging oor, place cardboard supports from shipping carton on oor behind washer. Tip washer back and place on cardboard supports. Remove shipping base. Set washer upright.

IMPORTANT: Removing shipping base is necessary for proper operation. If your washer includes a sound shield, please refer to the instructions included with the sound shield to install it at this time.

3. Remove packing tray from tub

Remove tape from washer lid, open lid, and remove cardboard packing tray from tub. Remove all other packaging materials from washer tub. Be sure to remove all parts from tray.

NOTE: Keep tray in case you need to move washer later.

4. Free power cord

5. Attach drain hose to drain port

Remove the red plastic plug from the black drain port on the back of the washer.

If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, slide it over end as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide black elbow end of drain hose onto black drain port and secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6. For a oor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form as

shown in Step 7. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See the “Tools and Parts” section.

Firmly grasp power cord plug and pull to free from rear panel. Gently place power cord over console to allow free access to back of washer.

6. Place drain hose in standpipe

Drain hose form

For oor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See the “Tools and Parts” section.

9. 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.

Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.

Connect Inlet Hoses

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with at washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.

NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water owing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided).

8. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets

Attach hose 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 second hose for cold water faucet.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

10. Connect inlet hoses to washer

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.

IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every ve years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

You may want to prop up the front of the washer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support the weight of the washer when making the adjustments.

WARNING

Move the washer to its nal location. Place a level on top edges of washer. Use side seam as a guide to check levelness of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as shown. Rock washer back and forth to make sure all four feet make solid contact with oor. If washer is level, skip to step 15.

WASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the “Installation & Care Instructions Manual” for more information.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow the

HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not

exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help

dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

Clean Washer Cycle

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.

Begin procedure

1. affresh® Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for Best Performance):

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items. b. Place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom

of the washer basket.

c. Do not place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the

detergent dispenser.

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the

washer when following this procedure.

e. Close the washer lid. f. Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle. g. Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to begin the

cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle

must be interrupted, touch POWER. After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a RINSE & SPIN cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
