Installing the Washer
NOTE: If the washer 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.
Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and
Shipping Plug
NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows
room for attaching exhaust duct.
Remove the shipping brace from under the lid. The
plastic shipping plug will be released from the base of
the washer when removing the cardboard base from
the washer.
Figure 2
NOTE: Do not tilt washer to front or sides when
moving.
The shipping brace and plug should be saved and must
be reinstalled whenever washer is moved or
transported to a new location. This will prevent
damage to washer components.
NOTE: Refer to your Operating Instructions for
reinstalling shipping brace and shipping plug.
Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub
Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a
detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to
remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting 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 plain rubber washers and two filter
screens from accessories bag, and install them
according to Figure 4.
NOTE: Check filter screens for debris or damage
annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.
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.
Figure 4
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every 5 years.

Step 4: Connect Drain Hose to Drain
Receptacle
Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on
the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the
retainer clamp.
Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are
appropriate for your type of drain receptacle
(standpipe, high standpipe, low standpipe, sink, wall,
or laundry tub). Follow these instructions to properly
install the drain hose.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 3.2 cm (1-1/4 inch) outside
diameter drain hose.
Figure 5
Standpipe Installation:
Place the hose into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories
bag and place around standpipe and drain hose,
approximately 30 cm (12 inches) down from the top of
pipe and tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. This
will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain
receptacle during use.
IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place
any ribbed portion of the drain hose into the
standpipe.
