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: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This
allows room for attaching exhaust duct.
Move washer as close to the desired area of
installation as possible.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures.
Step 2: 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 3 and 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.

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 five years.
Step 3: 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 and by removing shipping tape.
Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are
appropriate for your type of drain receptacle
(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.
Standpipe Installation
Place the drain hose into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories
bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and
tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. This will
prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain
receptacle during use.

Sink Installation
For this type of installation, use the beaded tie-down
strap (supplied in accessories bag) or use a large wire
tie (available from your local hardware store), and
secure the drain hose to the cabinet top hinge (refer to
Figure 7). This will prevent the drain hose from
dislodging during use.
Figure 7
In-the-Wall Installation

down strap from accessories bag.
NOTE: End of drain hose must not be below 24 in.

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.
Step 4: Position and Level the Washer
Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level
floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust the front and rear
leveling legs until the washer is level from side to side
and front to back (using a level). Washer should not
rock.
NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top
panel. Refer to Figure 10.
Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer
base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not
tight, washer will move out of position during operation.
NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the
leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base
could become damaged.
NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door
as a handle in the transportation of the washer may
cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Washers elevated above floor level must be
anchored to that elevated surface, base or
platform. The material used to elevate the
washer should also be anchored to the floor
to ensure that the washer will not walk or
that the washer can not be physically
pulled, tipped or slid from its installed
position. Failure to do so may result in
conditions which can produce serious
injury, death and/or property damage.
