Installing your washer _11
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your Washer, you must remove the four 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 7).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface
• 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 4
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.
2. Insert new rubber washer (supplied) into each end of the
inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
