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 unit is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of the final location.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation.

HOTCOLD

1.Using a ½ in. (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 and the cable attached to the bolt. The power cord will be attached to all 4 bolts.

3.Once all 4 bolts are removed, remove the power cord from each bolt holder, and discard bolts, plastic spacers, and cables.

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

Connect the Inlet Hoses

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1.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.

2.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.

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

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

4.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.

Route the Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer.

To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:

Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under “Alternate Parts You May Need.”)
