Installing the Washer
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.
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: See your Use and Care Guide for
instructions on 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 Water Inlet Hoses
NOTE: Refer to Section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting water inlet hoses.
Remove the two screened filter washers and the two
plain rubber washers from accessories bag, and install
them according to the illustration.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the filter screens in the inlet
hoses, or 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 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 32 cm (1-1/4 inch) outside
diameter drain hose.
Standpipe Installation:
Place the adapter into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories
bag and place around standpipe and drain hose,
approximately 30 cm (12 inches) 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.

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. See
illustration. This will prevent the drain hose from
dislodging during use.
We recommend leaving the standpipe adapter on the
drain hose for this type installation.
In the Wall Installation:
For installations of this type, the drain hose MUST be
secured to one of the inlet hoses using the beaded tie-
down strap from accessories bag.
NOTE: End of drain hose must not be below height
of cabinet top.
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.
We recommend leaving the standpipe adapter on the
drain hose for this type installation.

Step 5:
Position and Level the Washer
Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.
Placewasher in position on a clean, dry, and reasonably
firm floor. Installing the washer on any type of
carpeting is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8" 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.
Step 6:
Plug In the Washer
Refer to section on Electrical Requirements, and plug
the washer in.

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.
Step 8:
Check Lid Switch
Washer should stop spinning when lid is opened.
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
(240 Volt, 50 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the control
hood. Earthing Instructions
The washer must be earthed. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, earthing 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-earthing conductor
and a 3-prong earthing plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
earthed 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, all wiring and earthing
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. W129
WARNING
D009IE1A
DO NOT OVERLOAD CIRCUITS
DO NOT USE ADAPTER
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Improper connection of the equipment-
earthing conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt
as to whether the washer is properly
earthed. W218

Water Supply Requirements
NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 -14
BSP metric femalecouplings. DO NOTUSE 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.
Water Temperature
Cold:
Recommended cold water temperature is 10° to 24°
Celsius, 50° to 75° Fahrenheit.
Hot:
Recommended hot water temperature is 60° to 66°
Celsius, 140° to 150° Fahrenheit.
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.
NOTE: A longer inlet hose is available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hose (supplied with
the washer) is not long enough for the installation.
Order hose as follows:
Part Number WA003 – 2,5 m Inlet Hose
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

Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 138 to a maximum of
827 kPa per square inch (20 to 120 pounds per square
inch) static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: For water pressure over 827,4 kPa per
square inch (120 pounds per square inch) we
recommend the installation of a pressure limiting
valve (Part Number PSL50DK). This item may be
purchased by calling FREECALL 1 800 025 139.
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa per square
inch (20 pounds per square inch) will cause an
extended fill time in the washer.
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets, see illustration
below.
