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.

installation. This kit is available (as optional equipment
at extra cost) through an authorized dealer or parts
distributor. Installation instructions are supplied with
the kit.

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.
