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.
Figure 2
Step 2: Connect Water Inlet Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting water inlet hoses.
Remove the four plain rubber washers from accessories
bag, and install them according to Figure 3.
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.
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.

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.
Figure 5
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.
Figure 6
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.
