Connect Fill Hoses
WARNING
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.

Water Supply Requirements
mixing valve marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from
the cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”. Refer to Figure
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female
garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMPON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75° Fahrenheit
[10° to 24° Celsius]. Recommended maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius]. Warm water is a mixture
of hot and cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon
Figure 7 .
6. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
7. Turn water on and check for leaks.
8. If leaks are found, turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them until there are no leaks.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever there
will be an extended period of non-use.
the water temperature and the pressure of both the hot and cold
water supply lines.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet
water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit [51°
Celsius] and hot surfaces.
W748
Maximum flow rate for all water temperatures is 2.5 gallons per
minute [9.46 liters per minute] ± 15%.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827
kPa] static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could
clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially important when installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construction.
Connecting Hoses
1. Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens
from the accessories bag.
2. Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure
7 . The screen must be facing outward.
3. Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water
faucets until they are finger-tight. Use the red color-coded
hose for the hot water connection and the blue color-coded
hose for the cold water connection.
4. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
5. Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water
mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Make sure the red
color-coded hose from the hot water faucet goes to the water

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 monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Connect Drain Hose to Drain Recepta-

WARNING
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.
Installation

1. Position unit so it has sufficient clearance for installation and
servicing.
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.
2. Place unit in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Installing the unit on any type of carpeting, soft tile or other weakly
supported structures is not recommended.
3. Place a level on the raised portion of cabinet top and check if
the unit is level from side to side and front to back.
4. If unit is not level, tilt unit to access the front and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling legs, prop up unit with a
wooden block.
5. Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust legs by screwing into or out
of unit base until the unit is level from side to side and front
to back (using a level). Unit should not rock.
NOTE: Leveling legs can also be adjusted from inside the unit using an adjustable wrench.
6. Tighten the locknuts securely against the unit base. If the
locknuts are not tight, unit will move out of position during
operation.
NOTE: DO NOT slide unit across floor if the leveling
legs have been extended. Legs and base could become damaged.
7. Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on all
four leveling legs.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and protective earth/ground
connections MUST conform with the latest edition of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, and
such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring, fuses and
circuit breakers installed by a qualified electrician to
make sure adequate electrical power is available to
the washer.
W824
When plugging in the washer:
• DO NOT overload circuits.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
• DO NOT operate other appliances on the same circuit. Use
separately fused 15 Amp circuits.
The washer is designed to be operated on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effective earth/ground, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz,
AC (alternating current), circuit protected by a 15 ampere fuse,
equivalent fusetron or circuit breaker.
The three-prong earth/ground plug on the power cord should be
plugged directly into a polarized three-slot effective earth/ground
receptacle rated 110/120 Volts AC (alternating current) 15 Amps.
Refer to Figure 13 to determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.

of least resistance for electric current.
The appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment earth/
ground conductor and a three-prong earth/ground plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly instal-
