Parts & Features (cont.)
Installation (cont.)
• Tools needed: pliers, Phillips-head screwdriver and level.
• Water pressure of 14 to 70psi is required. Water pressure less than 14psi may
cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off
completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what the washer controls allow,
causing the washer to turn off.
• The water faucet must be within 48" of the back of your washer to match the
hoses provided with your washer. Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Two people may be needed to install and move the appliance.
5. Use the quick connection adaptor if connecting to a single faucet.
Skip this step
if you are connecting the washer to a sink with separate hot and cold faucets.
When connected to a single faucet that can dispense either hot or cold water,
both hot and cold water can be run through the cold water line for washing use.
However, it is recommended to only run cold water washes when the adaptor is
connected to such a faucet.
6. Pull back on the white ring to separate the faucet fitting from the quick
connection adaptor for installation to the faucet. If the faucet has internal screw
threads, unscrew the aerator from the tip of the faucet. Screw the faucet fitting
into the faucet. Make sure that the black rubber gasket is on the top of the
adaptor before screwing it in. If the faucet has external screw threads, remove
the gasket from the top of the faucet fitting, and screw the fitting over the
external threads. Screw the end of the cold water hose to the quick connector.
Pull back on the white ring to connect the two parts of the adaptor back
together.
7. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot and cold faucets. Use the
quick connection adaptor for the cold water faucet.
8. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional 2/3 of a turn with a wrench. DO NOT fasten fittings too tightly. DO NOT
apply tape or sealant. Ensure fittings are connected securely by pulling down on
the hoses.
9. Place the free ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets for 10 or 15
seconds to ensure the hoses are clear. Close the faucets before continuing.
10. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake
connections on the back of the washer. The water supply hose connected to
the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water
hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply
intake.
11. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional 2/3 of a turn with a wrench.
If hoses are twisted or bent, they can leak
and cause electrical shock
. An error code will occur if hoses are not connected
correctly. If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, install the water
intake cap to that intake hole. In this case, you must select cold water as the
wash temperature choice.
12. Turn on the water supply and check all the connections and the faucets for
water leaks.
