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 Use and Care Guide 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.
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 yearly 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 1-1/4 inch (3.2 cm) 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 12 inches (30 cm) 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.

Laundry Tub Installation:
For this type of installation, the drain hose MUST be
secured to the stationary tub to prevent hose from
dislodging during use. Use the beaded tie-down strap
(supplied in accessories bag) to secure hose.
It is recommended to leave the standpipe adapter on
the drain hose for this type of installation.
Figure 11
Step 5: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.
Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and
reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any
type of carpeting is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8 inch locknuts and adjust the two front
leveling legs. Once adjusted, tilt the unit forward on
front legs and lower back down into position to set the
rear self-leveling legs.
Washer must not rock. After washer is at desired
height, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of
washer base. If these locknuts are not tight, washer
will not remain stationary during operation.
Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will
cause excessive vibration.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs
have been extended, as legs and base could become
damaged.
Verify that washer doesn’t rock.

Step 6: Plug in the Washer
Refer to section on Electrical Requirements and plug
in the washer.
Figure 13
Step 7: Add Water to the Washer
To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before
adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer
is run before any water is added, the pump seal may
overheat causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the
water retained in the drain system from the previous
cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump
seal damage.
NOTE: The agitator should not be removed except
for service. The washtub is designed to be self-
cleaning.
Figure 14
Step 8: Check Lid Switch
Washer should stop agitating and spinning when lid is
opened.
Figure 15
Step 9: Check Installation
Refer to Installer Checklist on the back cover of this
manual and make sure that washer is installed
correctly.

Electrical Requirements
120 Volt, 60 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
control hood.
Figure 16
Grounding Instructions
The washer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the washer — if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the
polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading
is measured other than that illustrated, the
qualified electrician should correct the problem.
Figure 17
D009I
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
MUST conform with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
and such local regulations as might apply. It
is the customer’s responsibility to have the
wiring, fuses and circuit breakers checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure your
home has adequate electrical power to
operate the washer.

3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings.
DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON
CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily
accessible to permit turning them off when washer
is not being used.
Figure 18
Water Temperature
Cold:
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75°
Fahrenheit (10° to 24° Celsius).
Hot:
Recommended hot water temperature is 140° to
150° Fahrenheit (60° to 66° Celsius).
Warm:
Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water
temperature is dependent upon the water temperature
and the pressure of both the hot and cold water supply
lines.)
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn
off water supply whenever there will be an
extended period of non-use.

No. 20617 Fill Hose 8 feet (2.44 m)
No. 20618 Fill Hose 10 feet (3.05 m)
Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to 120 pounds per
square inch (138 to a maximum of 827 kPa) static
pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per
square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill
time in the washer.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been used for such a
period and before using the washer, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will
