Installing your washer

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional to install this washer.
STEP 1
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your washer, you must remove the four shipping bolts
from the back of the unit.
1.
Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2.
Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the spacer
through the hole in the rear wall of your washer. Repeat for each
bolt.
3.
Cover the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 19).
4.
Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 2
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
•
Has a hard, level surface
•
Is away from direct sunlight
•
Has adequate ventilation
•
Will not freeze (tempuratures are never below 32 °F or 0 °C).
•
Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
•
Has enough room for the power cord.
•
Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1.
If you use a stand pipe, make sure the connection
between the drain hose and the standpipe is NOT
airtight. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
You must always exercise caution to avoid
collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best
results, the drain hose should not be restricted
in any way – by elbows, couplings, or excessive
length. For situations where the drain hose cannot
be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm,
the drain hose must be supported.
Do not insert the drain hose too far into the stand
pipe: 6 - 8 inches, and no more.
2.
Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside each fi ll hose.
Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections.
On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose
and attach each fi ll hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose with
Hot printed on it is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until
snug, then two-thirds of a turn with pliers.
For correct water use, connect both HOT and COLD water valves. If
either or both are not connected, an “nF” (no fi ll) error can occur.
