Installation
Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
Move washer as close to the desired area of
installation as possible.
Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses
Water Supply
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch
(19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT
USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50o to 75o
Fahrenheit (10oto 24oCelsius). Recommended hot
water temperature is 140oto 150oFahrenheit (60oto
66oCelsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold
water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon
water temperature and pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a
maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 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 and may not properly flush out
the detergent dispenser.
Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
material that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated buildings, it is very important to flush
the lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Connecting Hoses
Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter
screens from the accessories bag. Install them into
each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 3. The
screen must be facing outward.
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the
water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a
pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Use the red
color-coded hose for the hot water connection and the
blue color-coded hose for the cold water connection.
Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the
water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then,
using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to
Figure 4. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the
hot water faucet goes to the water mixing valve
marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from the
cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”.
IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them
until there are no leaks.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever
there will be an extended period of non-use.
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 release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time. W029

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
subject 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 the shipping tape.
Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle
(standpipe, wall or laundry tub) following the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch (32 cm) outside
diameter drain hose.
Standpipe Installation:
Place the drain hose into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and
place around standpipe and drain hose and tighten
strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure 5. This
will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain
receptacle during use.
Wall Installation:
For installations of this type, the drain hose MUST be
secured to one of the fill hoses using the beaded strap
from accessories bag. Refer to Figure 6.
NOTE: End of drain hose must be below 24 in.
(61 cm).

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. Refer to Figure 7. Use the
beaded strap (supplied in accessories bag) to secure
hose.
Step 4: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
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.
Place washer in position on a clean, firm and
reasonably level floor. Installing the washer on any
type of carpeting is not recommended.
For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with
a wooden block. Refer to Figure 8.
Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the washer
is level from side to side and front to back.
NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top
panel. Refer to Figure 9.
If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front
and rear leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust
legs by screwing into or out of washer base.

When plugging in the washer:
•DO NOT overload circuits.
•DO NOT use an extension cord.
•DO NOT use an adapter.
•DO NOT operate both a washer and gas dryer on
the same circuit. Use separately fused 15 Amp
circuits.
The washer is designed to be operated on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit
protected by a 15 Amp fuse, equivalent fusetron or
circuit breaker.
The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord
should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot
effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts
AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. Refer to Figure 12
to determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.
Grounding Information
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 3-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 in Figure 12, the
qualified electrician should correct the problem.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located behind the
control panel, inside the control cabinet.
Step 8: Check Installation
Refer to Installer Checklist on the back cover of this
manual and make sure that washer is installed
correctly.
Run washer through one complete cycle to make sure
it is operating properly.
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 installed by a qualified
electrician to make sure adequate
electrical power is available to the washer.
