NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area dur-
ing the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until
the washer has had a chance to warm up.
NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows room for
attaching exhaust duct.
NOTE: Some moisture in the wash drum is normal. Wa-
ter is used during testing at the manufacturer.
NOTE: This appliance is suitable for use in countries
having a warm, damp climate.
Parts Included
An accessories bag has been shipped inside your washer. It in-
cludes:
• Two fill hoses with washers and filter screens
• Four rubber feet
• Beaded strap
• Installation Instructions
• User’s Guide
• Warranty Bond
Parts Needed
Two fill hoses are required for installation. Order 807239 Hose
Kit if needed. Kit includes two fill hoses color-coded for hot and
cold water.
If using any other hoses, follow these requirements:
• Hoses must be new.
• Hoses must be a minimum of 3/8 in. inside diameter. Smaller
inside diameter hoses will cause long fill times which could
create nuisance fill errors.
• The two plain rubber washers and two filter screens included
with the washer in the accessories bag must be installed in the
fill hose couplings. Refer to Connecting Hoses. The filter
screens help prevent foreign materials from clogging the wa-
ter mixing valve.

Connect Fill Hoses
WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. 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 accumulat-
ed hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
W029
Water Supply Requirements
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female
garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-
ON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessi-
ble to permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75° Fahrenheit
[10° to 24° Celsius]. Recommended maximum hot water temper-
ature is 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius]. Warm water is a 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.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet
water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit [51°
Celsius] and hot surfaces.
W748
Maximum flow rate for all water temperatures is 2.5 gallons per
minute [9.46 liters per minute] ± 15%.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827
kPa] static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approxi-
mately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could
clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially im-
portant when installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construc-
tion.
Connecting Hoses
1. Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from accessories
bag) in water fill hose couplings (two hoses supplied with
washer). The filter screen must be facing outward.
2. Connect fill hose couplings with filter screens to water supply
faucets.
3. Connect the other hose couplings to the hot and cold valve
connections at the rear of the washer.
4. Make sure the hose from the hot water faucet goes to the wa-
ter mixing valve marked “H” and the hose from the cold fau-
cet goes to the valve marked “C”.
5. Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger tight.
Then turn 1/4 turn with pliers.

IMPORTANT:
Hoses and other rubber parts deteriorate after extend-
ed 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 monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be re-
placed immediately. All hoses should be replaced ev-
ery five years.
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.
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 the shipping tape.
Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle (standpipe, wall or
laundry tub) following the instructions below.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of han-
dling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch [32 mm] outside diame-
ter drain hose.
