INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
ACCESSORIES
TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
KEY DIMENSIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS
CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
FLOORING: For the best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed oor. Wood
oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft
tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin
cycle.
DO NOT install your washer in areas where water may freeze. Since your washer retains some water in
its water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, pump and other components.
NEVER install on a platform or weakly supported structure.
ELECTRIC
Use 120V/60Hz 15 AMPS fuse or circuit breaker. Individual branch circuit serving only for your washer is
recommended. NEVER use an extension cord with this appliance.
GROUNDING: Electrical grounding is required for this washer. In the event of a malfunction, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed
and grounded outlet. The plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
NEVER connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or hot water pipes.

INSTALLATION
WATER
To correctly ll your washer in the proper amount of time. Water pressure of 14 to 70PSI (100 to 500 kPa) is
required. Water pressure less than 14psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to
shot off completely or can extend the ll time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer
to turn off and alarm error. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent ooding in your home if a hose
becomes loose. The water faucet must be within 4 feet (122cm) of the back of your washer. To avoid the
possibility of water damage, have the water faucets easily accessible. Turn off faucets when washer is not
in use. Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet ttings.
DRAIN FACILITY: The recommended height of the standpipe is 35” or 90cm. The drain hose must be
routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose.
INSTALLING THE WASHER
STEP 1. Tilt the unit back onto its rear rollers and push it forward as shown. Move the unit to a location as
described in the previous location section. Make sure the surface is level and without carpeting.
STEP 2. Slide the bottom cover into the slots on the bottom surface of the unit as in the following gure and
x it with two screws attached with the unit.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
STEP 1. The quick connection adaptor is primarily for quick connection to a single faucet, such as a kitchen
sink. Skip this step if you are connecting the washer to a sink with separate hot and cold faucets the adaptor
consists of two parts that quickly connect or disconnect. One part, the faucet tting, is for connection to the
faucet and the other part, the hose tting, connects to the cold water hose of the washer.
Pull back on the white ring to free the faucet tting from the adaptor for installation into the faucet.
Screw the end of the cold water hose onto the base of the hose tting.
If the faucet has internal screw threads, unscrew the aerator if present from the tip of the faucet. Then
screw the faucet tting into the faucet. Make sure the black rubber gasket is on top of the adaptor before
screwing it in.
If the faucet has external screw threads, remove the gasket from the top of the faucet tting and screw
the tting over the external threads.
Pull back on the white ring to connect the two parts of the adaptor back together.
NOTE: When connected to a single faucet that can dispense either hot or cold water, both hot and cold
water can be run through the cold water line for washing use. However, it is recommended to only run cold
water washes when the adaptor is connected to such a faucet.
STEP 2. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets. For convenience, use
the quick connection adaptor for connection to the cold water faucet.
STEP 3. Tighten the ttings by hand until they are snug, then tighten them an additional 2/3 of a turn with a
wrench.
When you fasten the ttings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to the faucets or water
supply intakes. This can damage the ttings. After you have connected the water supply hoses to the
faucets, ensure that they are connected securely by pulling the water supply hoses downwards.
STEP 4. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open the faucets
connected to the two water supply hoses for 10-15 seconds to remove any foreign
substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.
STEP 5. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of
the washer.
The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet
must be connected to the hot water supply intake and
the water supply connected to the COLD faucet must
be connected to the cold water supply intake.
7

INSTALLATION
Conrm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can
leak and cause electric shock due to the water leakage. To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the
HOT and COLD water faucets. If wither or both are not connected, an error code can occur. If you do not want
to use the HOT water supply hose, install the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In this
case, you must select cold water as the wash temperature option.
STEP 6. Tighten the ttings by hand until they are snug, then tighten them an additional 2/3 of a turn with a
wrench.
STEP 7. Turn on the HOT and COLD water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and
the faucets for water leaks.
CONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE
Position the other end of the drain hose. It can be positioned in three
ways.
A. Over the edge of the basin. Secure the guide to the side of the
basin wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the
drain hose from moving.
B. In a standpipe. The standpipe must be no shorter than 32” and no
longer than 39”.
C. In a laundry tub, The laundry tub must be no shorter than 32” and
no higher than 39”.
NOTE: Make sure the connection between the drain hose and the
wash basin, standpipe or laundry tub is not airtight.
LEVELLING YOUR WASHER
1. Slide the washer into position, then open the lid of the washer and
pour the water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.
2. If the washer is level, the pulsator is positioned at the center of the
washer as shown. If not, level your washer by turning the front leveling
feet clockwise or counter-clockwise as necessary.
