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 ﬁll valves, and water pressure of 20–100 psi (137.9–689.6 kPa).

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

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

■ A sturdy and solid ﬂoor 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 is not reversible.

■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,

and ﬂoor 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.

Washer Dimensions

A ﬂoor 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 (ﬂoor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the ﬂoor drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need. See “Tools and Parts.”

Standpipe drain system – wall or ﬂoor (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 qualiﬁed electrician.

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

recommended that a qualiﬁed electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.

■ Check with a qualiﬁed 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 ﬁnal 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 with plastic spacer

2. Using a ½" 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 ﬂat 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 ﬂoor drain, wall standpipe, ﬂoor 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 ﬂoor.

1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.

2. Move the washer to its ﬁnal 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, ﬁrst 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, ﬁrst 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 4 feet are stable and resting on the ﬂoor.

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 4 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 ﬁnal location.

6. Conﬁrm 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.
