Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a basement, laundry room, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need

■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of

where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ Hot and cold water taps located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot

and cold water ll valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).

■ A level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire

washer. Installing the washer on soft oor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

■ A sturdy and solid oor to support the washer with a total

weight (water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).

Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.

Installation clearances

■ The location must be large enough to allow the washer door

to be fully opened.

■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not reversible.

■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

oor moldings.

■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer

is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

A oor drain should be provided under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.

Drain System

The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system (oor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the oor drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need. See “Tools and Parts.”

Standpipe drain system – wall or oor (views A & B)

The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (50 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 12 gal. (45.5 L) per minute, per washer.

The top of the standpipe must be at least 30" (762 mm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

Electrical Requirements

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this washer be provided.

■ This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having

a 3 prong grounding plug.

■ To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.

■ Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove Transport System

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer

is within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its nal location. There are 4 shipping bolts in the rear panel of the washer that

support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

1. Keep the washer in the upright position while removing the

shipping bolts.

Shipping bolt

Shipping bolt with plastic spacer

2. Using a 1/2" wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

3. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole

and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional

two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten, use tape, or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear water lines

■ Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a

laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

■ Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the

hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

4. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers.

Then push the power cord plug into the opening on the right side of the rear panel and pull the power cord through the opening on the left side of the rear panel and close holes with the attached cap. Do not pull plug end of power cord through the right side hole.

5. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your

product distributor or installer. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation by a trained professional.

Connect the Inlet Hoses

Insert new at washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

at washer connection.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Connect the Drain Hose

Remove drain hose from washer drum

1. Use locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together and

insert over the end of drain hose.

Washer drain system can be installed using a oor drain, wall standpipe, oor standpipe, or laundry tub.

Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

■ Use the drain hose form, and do not force excess drain hose

into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

■ Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”

2. Slide drain hose onto washer connection.

3. Once drain hose is in place, release pliers.

Secure the Drain Hose

Drain hose must be secured to stop the hose from moving when water is pumped out. If the drain hose moves, water may end up on the oor.

1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.

2. Move the washer to its nal location.

3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown.

Level the Washer

Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the

top edge of the washer, rst side to side, then front to back.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the washer is not level, rst prop the front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.

2. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the oor.

Then check that the washer is perfectly level (use a level).

3. After the washer is level, use a 9/16" open-end wrench to turn

the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.

IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the nuts are

not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

4. The washer should not move front to back, side to side,

or diagonally when pushed on its top edges.

5. Slide the washer to its nal location.

6. Conrm the levelness of the washer.

Complete Installation

1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method. See “Electrical Requirements.”

2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

3. Check that you have all of your tools.

4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

5. Check that the water faucets are on.

6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.

7. Plug into an grounded 3 prong outlet.

8. To test and to clean your washer, measure 1/2 the detergent

manufacturer’s recommended amount of High Efciency (HE) detergent for a medium-size load. Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select any cycle and allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.

Installing Pad Strips

1. Take the 2 foam pad strips from bag.

2. Remove tape from the back of adhesive pads.

3. Install the pads on the left and right inside walls of the coin

vault, leaving about 1/4" (6 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm) of space near the front edge of the vault to allow room for the coin box to lock into position.

General User Information

SCROLLING ‘OUT OF ORDER’ SHOWING IN DISPLAY

This condition indicates the washer is inoperative. ‘0 MINUTES’ SHOWING IN DISPLAY

This indicates the cycle is complete and the washer cannot be operated. Coins dropped or debit inputs during this condition will be stored in escrow but cannot be used until normal operation is restored by opening and closing the door. If a door switch fails, it must be replaced before normal operation can be restored.

COLD START (Initial rst use) Washer is programmed at the factory as follows:

11-minute wash period 3 rinses (extra rinse not enabled) 7 x coin 1 wash price (PD models)

WARM START (after power failure) A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in progress at the time of the power failure, ‘RESELECT CYCLE’ will ash in the display, indicating the need for a key press to restart washer.

DOOR LOCK Prior to beginning a cycle, there is a door lock routine of lock/ unlock/relock then cycle begins. The door will remain locked until the end of a cycle or approximately 2 minutes after a power interruption.

PRICING After the door is opened following the completion of a cycle, the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free operation). As coins are dropped or debit inputs arrive, the display will change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.

FREE CYCLES This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When this happens, ‘SELECT CYCLE’ will appear rather than a cycle price.

DEBIT CARD READY

This washer is debit card ‘cable’ ready. It will accept a variety of debit card systems, but does NOT come with a debit card reader. Refer to the debit card reader manufacturer for proper washer setup. In models converted to a Generation 1 debit card system, debit pulses represent the equivalent of one coin (coin 1).
