hose into an oversized floor drain or drain trough. The entire length
of the drain hose must be below the drain outlet on the machine.

is placed,
MUST
be at least 1/2 inch larger in diameter than the
drain hose. This will insure that the sewer line cannot back up
into the washing machine.

INSTALLATION
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
flushthe water lines and remove particles that might
clog up the water valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from
the plastic bag and install the rubber washers in each
end of the inlet hoses.
3.
(90° elbow end) Carefully connect the inlet hose
marked "HOT" to theoutside "H" outlet of the water
valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn
with pliers. Carefully connect the other inlet hose to
the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by
hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not
crossthread or over-tighten these connections.
4.
Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water faucets
tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the
water on and check for leaks.
5. On machines equipped with drain pump, form a U
shape on the end of the drain hose, with the hose
pointed toward the drain.
NOTE:
If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe without
forming a U shape, a siphoning action could occur.
There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A
snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.
6. On machines equipped with
gravity drain,connect one end of the
drain hose to the drain outlet of the
machine, using the provided clamp.
7. Carefully move the washer to its
final location.
NOTE:
Do not use the dispenser
drawer or door to lift washer.
8. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the
washer. Adjust the front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer
is resting solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards the base of
the washer and snug with a wrench.
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.Rear leg adjustments are also accessible through
the front service panel.
