machine and the wall behind.

• Minimum 1 inch (25 mm) to next machine if
more than one machine is installed in a row.

Floor

• The oor must be smooth and hard. Do not
install the machine on carpet or other soft
material.

• The oor must hold the total weight of the
machine lled with water and a load. This
static weight is 416 pounds (188 kilograms).

• Adjust the leveling legs of the machine, as
needed, to ensure that it is level front to back,
and side to side, and so that all four feet are
in contact with the oor. After leveling the
machine, use the enclosed locknut wrench
tool to tighten each leg’s locking nut against
the underside of the washer.

Water Connections

All inlet connections to the machine are to be tted with manual shut-off valves and lters,
to facilitate installation and servicing.

NOTE: The inlet lter screens are provided inside the machine’s connection ttings.

Water pipes and hoses should be ushed clean before installation. After installation, hoses
should hang in gentle arcs.

The machine is equipped with two water inlet ttings, one for hot water and one for cold.
The ttings on the back of the machine are metric (DN20) threads, onto which only one end
of the included ll hoses (the end with the “elbow” tting, also marked with a label that reads
“Machine End”) can be threaded. The other end of each ll hose is tted with a standard
“female garden hose” threaded tting that will easily assemble to the supply spigot in your
laundry.

Hoses need only be HAND TIGHTENED when properly assembled.
If hoses are difcult to assemble, or leak after assembly, check that the hoses have been
assembled in the proper orientation and have a garden-hose washer in each swivel tting.

Your water heater should supply hot water at a minimum temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) and a maximum of 170 degrees
Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius).

The required water pressure is as follows:

• min: 15 PSI (100 kPa)

• max: 90 PSI (600 kPa)

recommended: 30-90 PSI (200-600 kPa)
