Before You Start
Supplies
For most installations, the basic supplies you will need
are:
Parts Included
An accessories bag has been shipped inside your
washer. It includes:
•Two fill hoses with washers and filter screens.
Refer to step 3 of Installation.
•Four rubber feet. Refer to step 5 of Installation.
•Beaded strap. Refer to step 4 of Installation.
•Installation Instructions.
•User’s Guide.
•Warranty Bond.
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.
NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows
room for attaching exhaust duct.

Installation
Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and
Shipping Plug
Remove the shipping brace from under the lid.
The shipping plug will be released from the base of the
washer when removing the cardboard base from the
washer. Refer to Figure 3.
NOTE: Do not tilt washer to front or sides when
moving.
Save the shipping brace and plug. They must be
reinstalled whenever washer is moved or transported
to a new location. This will prevent damage to the
washer. Refer to the User’s Guide for instructions on
reinstalling the shipping materials.
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
Water Supply
Water supply faucets must fit standard 19.1 mm (3/4
inch) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE
SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 10oto 24o
Celsius (50o to 75o Fahrenheit). Recommended hot
water temperature is 60oto 66oCelsius (140oto 150o
Fahrenheit). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold
water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon
water temperature and pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
Water 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: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 pounds
per square inch) will cause an extended fill time in
the washer.
Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
material that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated buildings, it is very important to flush
the lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Connecting Hoses
Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter
screens from the accessories bag. Install them into
each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 5. The
screen must be facing outward.
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the
water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a
pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Use the red
color-coded hose for the hot water connection and the
blue color-coded hose for the cold water connection.
Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the
water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then,
using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to
Figure 6. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the
hot water faucet goes to the water mixing valve
marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from the
cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”.
IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them
until there are no leaks.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever
there will be an extended period of non-use.
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.

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
subject 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.
Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle
(standpipe, wall or laundry tub) following the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 3.2 cm (1-1/4 inch) outside
diameter drain hose.
Standpipe Installation:
Place the adapter into the standpipe.
The recommended height for the standpipe is
91.44 cm (36 inches). Standpipes higher than 122 cm
(4 feet) are not recommended.
Remove the beaded 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. Refer to
Figure 7. 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.
