CONNECT WATER FILL HOSES TO FAUCETS

Before connecting hoses to water supply, turn on faucets and flush lines for approximately 2 minutes to remove foreign matter that could clog filter screens in water mixing valve or fill hoses.

Tightly push one screened filter washer onto remaining end of each water fill hose. Attach water hoses

to HOT and COLD faucets. BE

SURE HOT WATER HOSE IS CONNECTED TO HOT WATER FAUCET.

Tighten hose connections by hand until snug, then another 1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or over-tighten couplings.

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

SECURE DRAIN HOSE TO DRAIN

Remove drain hose from shipping position on rear of washer by unhooking hose from retainer clamp. Use beaded tie-down strap to secure “hook” end of drain hose to standpipe, wall inlet hoses, or laundry tub (must hold at least 20 gallons).

IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place ribbed portion of drain hose into standpipe. Avoid air-tight seal around standpipe adapter.

For standpipe installation below 36" (91.4 cm), install Siphon Break Kit part #562P3.

For standpipe installation above 48" (121.2 cm), install a check valve to prevent water from flowing back into washer. Available from local hardware store.

CONNECT WATER FILL HOSES TO WASHER

Tightly push one flat rubber washer into one end of each water fill hose and attach this end of hose to washer. HOT and COLD connections are identified by letters H and C stamped into washer cabinet and by HOT and COLD printed on water fill hoses.

In most cases, hoses should cross when attached to correct water temperature faucet.

Tighten hose connections by hand until snug, then another 1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or over-tighten couplings.

Push rubber washer

into end of fill hose.

POSITION AND LEVEL WASHER

Position washer in final location on clean, dry, firm, and level floor.

NOTE: To avoid damage to legs and base, do not slide washer across floor if leveling legs have been extended.

Loosen 7/8" locknuts and extend front leveling legs. Place rubber foot pads on all four leveling legs. Adjust front 2 leveling legs until machine is level side-to-side. Be sure machine does not rock. Tighten locknuts up to washer base, or washer will move out of position during operation.

Once front legs are adjusted, gently tilt washer forward on front legs and lower into place to correctly set rear self-leveling legs.

Check that washer is level front-toback and side-to-side. WASHER

MUST NOT ROCK.

About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe.

Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

Installation Requirements

Before You Install…

Consider

Location

Description

Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for easy installation and servicing.

Install washer on a solid floor. Never install washer on a platform or weak support structure.

Wood floor constructions may sometimes need to be reinforced to minimize vibration from unbalanced loads.

DO NOT install washer on carpeted floor. Carpet and soft tile surfaces also contribute to vibration and/or tendency for washer to move slightly during spin cycle.

Washer requires 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply and 3-prong grounding plug. Power cord is approximately 69" long. Refer to serial plate for specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located in control hood.

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4" (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be easily accessible and turned off before

extended periods of non-use.

Static pressure measured at faucet must be 20–120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa). Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138kPa) results in extended washer fill time.

Drain receptacle must be able to handle hose with at least 1-1/4" (32 cm) outside diameter. End of drain hose must be 36" (91.44 cm) above floor, or water may run out of washer before end of cycle.
