CAUTION

Installing the Unit

Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation Area

Move unit so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the desired area of installation.

NOTE: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install unit on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a basement. DO NOT install the unit on carpeting, soft tile, pedestal, a platform or other weakly supported structures.

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 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 faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign material that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve.

Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 60 80 maximum hot water temperature is 125 (51 water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.

Fahrenheit (16o to 27o Celsius). Recommended

Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold

Fahrenheit

NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or renovated buildings, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during construction.

Connecting Hoses

Insert each filter screen into the end of each fill hose that will connect to the water supply faucet. The screen must be facing outward. Refer to Figure 2.

Insert each plain rubber washer into the other end of each fill hose that will connect to the water mixing valve at the rear of the washer. Refer to Figure 2.
