INSTALLATION

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. 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 provided with this unit. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers on the rear of the washer allow for easy movement in undercounter installations. Gently lift up on the front of the washer and slide back. NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8" will engage the

rear legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift washer.

With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer (if an undercounter installation, no rocking of the washer should exist). 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.

The washer is designed to operate resting on its rear rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, the rear leveling legs may have to be extended. For undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment is accessible through the front service panel.

Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain. Place in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.

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.
