INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove Transport System

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its final location.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

Connect the Inlet Hoses

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1.Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the Hot (left) 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.

2.Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the Cold (right) water inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

HC

1.Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

2.Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

3.Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.

4.Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

H.Hot C. Cold

3.Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings already attached to the washer.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

4.Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

5.Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

6.Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

7.Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
