IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your Washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
•Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
•Has no dust, oil and detergent etc.
•Is away from direct sunlight
•Has adequate ventilation
•Will not freeze (below 32°F or 0°C)
•Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
•Has enough slack for the power cord.
•Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your washer, you must remove all shipping bolts from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer. Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 12).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1.Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be sure an airtight connection is NOT made between the drain hose and the standpipe. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46 cm high.
Caution must always be exercised to avoid collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best results, the drain hose should not be restricted in any way – by elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths. For situations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.
