Installation

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 as close to the desired area of installation as possible.

Step 2: Connect Water Inlet Hoses

NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply Requirements before connecting water inlet hoses.

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.

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 four 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.

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

Step 3: Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle

Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the retainer clamp and by removing shipping tape.

Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are appropriate for your type of drain receptacle (standpipe, sink, wall, or laundry tub). Follow these instructions to properly install the drain hose.

IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of handling a minimum of 3.2 cm (1-1/4 inch) outside diameter drain hose.

FLW2008N

Figure 4

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. All hoses should be replaced every five years.

Step 4: Position and Level the Washer

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.

W306

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 in. 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.
