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: Remove the Shipping Brace and
Shipping Plug
Figure 2
NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows
room for attaching exhaust duct.
Move washer so that it is within 1,2 meters (4 feet) of
desired area of installation.
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: Refer to 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 Fill Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting fill hoses.
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be
reused.
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 fill
hoses, or the screens in the water mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in a newly constructed or
renovated building, it is very important to flush the
lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Remove the two screened filter washers and the two
plain rubber washers from accessories bag, and install
them according to Figure 4.
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.
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
subjected 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 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.
Figure 5
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. Refer to
Figure 9. This will prevent the drain hose from
dislodging during use.
We recommend leaving the standpipe adapter on the
drain hose for this type installation.
Figure 9
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.
Figure 11
Step 5: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.
Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and
reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any
type of carpeting is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8 inch 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.
Recheck to make sure washer does not rock.

Step 6: Plug In the Washer
Refer to section on Electrical Requirements, and plug
the washer in.
Figure 13
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.
Figure 14
Step 8: Check Lid Switch
Washer should stop spinning when lid is opened.
Figure 15
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 Earthing
Plug)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
control hood.
Figure 16
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
Figure 17
D009I
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.

Water Supply Requirements
NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard
3/4 -14 BSP metric female couplings. DO NOT USE
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.
Figure 18
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 fill 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:

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.

Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 138 to a maximum of
827 kPa (20 to 120 pounds per square inch) static
pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: For water pressure over 827 kPa
(120 pounds per square inch) we recommend the
installation of a pressure limiting valve (Part
Number PSL50DK). This item may be purchased
by calling 1300 652 100.
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (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 (refer to
Figure 19).
