INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

RemoveTransportSystem

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 blue 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.

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, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

ConnecttheInletHoses

Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

A.Coupling

B.Washer

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1.Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

2.Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

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

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

■Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

■Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
