Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
•
Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT
(right) inlet valve. Attaching the red coupling first
makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an
additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves
can result.
•
Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD
water (left) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten
the coupling with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves
can result.

Installation Instructions
Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise
and vibration.
•
Move washer to final location.
•
Check that the washer is level from side to side and
front to back by lining up the level as shown in the
following illustrations.
•
If the washer is not level, prop up the front of the
washer with a wood block and adjust the feet up
or down as necessary. If the washer is against a wall,
move the washer out slightly before tipping back.
Repeat this step until washer is level.

•
Drape the power cord oer the console.
•
Move the washer to its final location and remove any
cardboard used to move washer.
•
Locate the beaded tie strap (supplied).
•
Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or
standpipe with the tie strap, as shown below.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are
recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in
the standpipe (see above illustration, at right). Tightly
wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and
the drain hose.
•
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear
of the washer.
SECURE DRAIN HOSE

•
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A
small amount of water might enter the washer. You
will drain this later.
NOTE:
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation
or replacement dates for future reference.
•
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off
the remaining water inlet port.
•
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
