INSTALLATION
Run some water from the hot
and cold faucets to flush the
water lines and remove
particles that might clog up the
water valve screens.
Remove the inlet hoses and
rubber washers from the
plastic bag and install the
rubber washers in each end
of the inlet hoses.
Carefully connect the inlet hose
(90 ° elbow end) marked "HOT"
to the outside "H" outlet of the
water valve. Tighten by hand, then
tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers. Carefully connect the other
inlet hose (90 ° elbow end) to the
inside "C" outlet of the water valve.
Tighten by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do
not crossthread or over-
tightenthese connections.
Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water
faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.
NOTE: Use only new hoses.
Carefully move the washer to its final location.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
washer.
With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of
the washer, no rocking of the washer should exist. Adjust the
front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting
solid. Rear leg adjustment is accessible through the front
service panel. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards the
base of the washer and snug with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are
extended the more the washer will vibrate.
Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose
pointed toward the drain. Place in a laundry tub or standpipe
and secure with the cable tie provided in the enclosure
package.
NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe without
forming a U shape, a siphoning action could occur.
There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A
snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.
