INSTALLATION
1. Run some water from the hot and cold
faucets to flush the water lines and remove
particles that might clog up the water valve
screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers
from the plastic bag and install the rubber
washers in each end of the inlet hoses.
3. (90° elbow end) Carefully connect the inlet hose marked "HOT"
to the outside "H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand,
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the
other inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten
by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not
crossthread or over-tighten these connections.
4. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on
and check for leaks.
5. On machines equipped with drain pump, form a
U shape on the end of the drain hose, with the
hose pointed toward the drain.
NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning action
could occur. There must be an air gap around the
drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause a
siphoning action.
6. On machines equipped with gravity
drain, connect one end of the drain
hose to the drain outlet of the
machine, using the provided clamp.
7. Carefully move the washer
to its final location.
NOTE: Do not use the
dispenser drawer or door
to lift washer.
8. With the washer in its final
position, place a level on top
of the washer. Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to
ensure the washer is resting
solid. Turn the lock nuts on
each leg up towards the base
of the washer and snug
with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg
extension at a minimum to
prevent excessive vibration.
The farther out the legs are
extended the more the
washer will vibrate.
Rear leg adjustments are also
accessible through the front
service panel.
9. Models equipped with drain
pump: Place the formed end of
the drain hose in a laundry tub
or a standpipe and secure with
the cable tie provided in the
enclosure package.

Models equipped with gravity drain: Run the machine's drain
hose into an oversized floor drain or drain trough. The entire
length of the drain hose must be below the drain outlet on the
machine.
NOTE: The drain pipe or floor drain, into which the drain hose is
placed, MUST be at least 1/2 inch larger in diameter
than the drain hose. This will insure that the sewer line
cannot back up into the washing machine.
8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker/
fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
9. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
10. Be sure you have read the "Important Safety Instructions" on
pages 2-3 before operating this washer.
11. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check
for water leaks and proper operation.
12. Keep these instructions for future reference.
NOTE: A wiring diagram is located inside the washer on the
service panel.
