INSTALLATION
Leveling the Washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer.
1.
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.
2.
For pedestal installations, See additional installation
instructions included with the pedestal.
Washer Connections
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.
Remove the inlet hoses and rubber
washers from the plastic bag located in
the drum of the washer and install the
rubber washers in each end of the inlet
hoses.
3.
Carefully connect the inlet hose marked "HOT" to the
outside "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.
NOTE:
Use only new hoses.
Drain Hose Installation
The drain hose is field installed to allow hose orientation to the
left or right, up or down depending on location of the house
drain. The hose is shipped in the washer tub with the spring
clamp on the coupler elbow and drain hose hanger installed on
the end of the hose.
1.
Remove the drain hose from the tub of the washer.
2.
Push the hose onto the drain coupler at the upper left of the
washer back panel until the hose contacts the STOP RIB.
