Installing the Washing Machine
SELECTING A LOCATION
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
•A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)
•Away from direct sunlight.
•Adequate ventilation
•Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
•Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas
Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
ADJUSTING THE LEVELING FEET
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the feet):
1.Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.
2.Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the supplied wrench.
•Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs. (Only a l degree angle is allowed.)
REMOVING THE TRANSIT BOLTS
Before using the washing machine, you must remove the five transit bolts from the back of the unit. To remove the bolts:
1.Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.
2.Take each bolt head and plastic together, pull it through the wide part of the hole. Repeat for each bolt.
3.Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4.Keep the transit bolts for future use.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure hose.
To connect the water supply hose: 1. Take the
water supply hose and connect to the cold water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
