Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WASHER
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. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers
on the rear of the washer allow for easy movement in
undercounter installations. Gently lift up on the front
of the washer and slide back.
NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8″ will engage the rear
legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer.
6. With the washer in its final position, place a level
on top of the washer (if the washer is installed
under a counter, the washer should not be able to
rock). 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.
The washer is designed to operate resting on its rear
rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may
have to extend the rear leveling legs. For undercounter
installations, you can adjust the rear legs by removing
the front service panel.
7. Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with
the hose pointed toward the drain. Place the hose
in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with
the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.
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.
8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at a circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord
into an outlet.
9. Turn on the power at a circuit breaker/fuse box.
10. Read the rest of this Owner’s Manual. It contains
valuable and helpful information that will save you
time and money.
11. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check
for water leaks and proper operation.
12. If your washer does not operate, please review
the
Before You Call For Service
section before
calling for service.
13. Place these instructions in a location near the
washer for future reference.
