NOTE:
Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended the
more the washer will vibrate.
6.
Form a "U" shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose
pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in a laundry
tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie provided in the
enclosure package.
NOTE:
The standpipe inside diameter must be 1-1/4" (3.18
cm) minimum. There must be an air gap around the drain
hose in the standpipe. A snug hose fit can cause a siphoning
action.
7.
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE:
Check to ensure the power is off at a circuit breaker
fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
8.
Turn on the power at a circuit breaker/fuse box.

unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers
causing suffocation. Place all materials in a garbage container or
make materials inaccessible to children.

From the back of the washer, remove the
wire
shipping clips
securing the drain hose and power cord. The PLASTIC CLAMPS,
which secure the drain hose to the right side of the washer
backsheet, form a standpipe to prevent water siphoning.
DO
NOT REMOVE THESE CLAMPS.
8.
Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet of the final location
for the start of the installation.
INSTALLATION
1.
Run some water from the hot and cold
faucets to flush the water lines and remove
particles that might clog up the water valve
screens.
2.
Check inlet hoses to ensure that the rubber
washers are installed in each end (If your
washer has inlet hoses already attached to
the water valve, proceed to step 4).
3.
Carefully connect the inlet hoses to the water
valve (on the left side of the washer cabinet),
tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3
turn with pliers.
DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN
THESE CONNECTIONS.
4.
Determine which water faucet is the
HOT
water faucet and
carefully connect the bottom inlet hose to the
HOT
water faucet,
tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Carefully connect the top inlet hose to the
COLD
water faucet,
tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN
THESE CONNECTIONS.
Turn the water on and check for leaks at both connections.
5.
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer. For free standing installation and with
the washer in it’s final position, place a level on top of the
washer. Adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-
rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the
slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the washer is
SOLID on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg
extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer.
