Installation
Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
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: 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 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.
For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with
a wooden block. Refer to Figure 3.
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 3.
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.
Make sure that the washer does not rock. When
washer is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts
securely against bottom of washer base. If these
locknuts are not tight, washer will move out of
position during operation.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs
have been extended. Legs and base could become
damaged.
Place rubber feet (supplied in accessories bag) on all
four leveling legs. Refer to Figure 3.
Verify that washer does not rock.
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.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses
Water Supply
Water supply faucets must fit standard 19.1 mm
(3/4 inch) 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 16oto 27o
Celsius (60o to 80o Fahrenheit). Recommended
maximum hot water temperature is 51° Celsius
(125° Fahrenheit). 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 138 to a
maximum of 827 kPa (20 to 120 psi) static pressure
measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 psi) 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 4. 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.
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 5.
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.
NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses supplied with
the washer are not long enough for the installation.
Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Fill Hose 2.44 m (8 feet)
No. 20618 Fill Hose 3.05 m (10 feet)
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.
