Installing the Unit
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
NOTE: If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate
it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Move unit so that it is within 1.2 meters (4 feet) of the
desired area of installation.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install unit on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. DO NOT install the unit on carpeting,
soft tile, pedestal, a platform or other weakly
supported structures.

Step 2: Connect Water Fill Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting water fill hoses.
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be
reused.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated building, it is very important to flush the
lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Remove the two filter screens and the two plain rubber
washers from the accessories bag.
Insert each filter screen into the end of each fill hose
that will connect to the water supply faucet. The
screen must be facing outward. Refer to Figure 4.
Insert each plain rubber washer into the other end of
each fill hose that will connect to the water mixing
valve at the rear of the washer. Refer to Figure 4.
Connect fill hoses to water supply faucets. Then
connect the hoses to the hot and cold valve
connections at the rear of the washer. For hoses with
metric couplings, connect black hose coupling to
water supply faucet. Connect brass hose coupling to
water mixing valve connection at rear of washer.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger-tight, then approximately
1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.
