PRIOR TO FIRST USE
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in
this use and care guide.
• Do not use this appliance for commercial clothes washing.
• Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been
used in more than 2 weeks. This could be explosive under certain
circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance turn
on all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes.
This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do
not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or
use a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and
can explode.

• This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used.
• Do not operate your appliance when parts are missing or broken.
• Do not operate this appliance unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.

UNPACKING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove all packing materials, including the foam base and all adhesive tape holding

washer. This is normal and is the result of water tests performed at the factory.
REMOVE TRANSPORTATION BOLTS
NOTE: The transportation bolts must be removed before using the washing
machine. Three transportation bolts are installed by the factory to
prevent damage to the wash system that can occur from shock during
transportation.

DRAIN CONNECTION
• The height of the standpipe drain or sink rim for the drain hose should be between
2'6" and 3'3".
• Use the supplied Drain Hose Support Bracket to loop the drain hose down into the
wall, standpipe or laundry tub.
• The drain hose shakes as water is being pumped out of the washer. Make sure that
the end of the drain hose is secured to the drain or sink. The support bracket has a
mounting hole to assist you in doing this.
• Take care to ensure all hose connections are tight.
The end of the drain hose cannot be immersed in water for the washer to work
properly.
WARNING

ENGLISH
12
WATER CONNECTION
IMPORTANT: Use the new water hoses supplied with the washer. Old hoses should
not be used.
1. Check that a flat washer is present and firmly in place in each end of the water
inlet hoses. Flat washers are pre-installed at the factory.
NOTE: Do not insert additional washers into the water hoses.
2. Connect the elbow coupling end of the water hoses to the inlet valves on the
washer. Then, connect the straight coupling end to the proper faucet.
NOTE: The washer's inlet valves have metric threads. The elbow coupling end of
the supplied water hoses have matching metric threads.
3. Connect the cold water faucet to the valve on the washer marked "C" and the hot
water faucet to the valve marked "H".
NOTE: Take care not to cross connect the hoses.
4. Check for hose connection leaks by fully opening the faucets. You may have to
use pliers to tighten connections.
NOTE: Do not over tighten hoses; this could cause damage to the washing
machine's valves.

Y ADAPTER CONNECTION
If you have a single faucet connection, you can purchase a "Y Adapter" from a
hardware store to connect the washer as shown below.
This machine dries clothes with condensing drying technology. The
condenser relies on cold water to function. If hot or warm water is supplied to
the "C" valve, the dryer will not work and damage can occur to components of
the washing machine.
WARNING

• The washer is equipped with a power cord that has a 3 prong plug. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
• The power cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available,
contacted a licensed electrician to have one installed.
• Do not use a 3 prong plug adapter.
• If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, contact a licensed
electrician.
• Do not use an extension cord.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ENGLISH
14
The washer must be connected to a properly grounded 120 Volt, 60 Hz.,
AC only, 15 Amp, fused electrical supply. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape route for the electrical current.
WARNING
WARNING
• If the electric supply provided does not meet the above requirements, contact a
licensed electrician.

ENGLISH
POSITION AND LEVEL THE WASHER
IMPORTANT: Because the drum of this washer spins at very high speeds, up to
1,000 RPM, the washing machine must rest firmly on a solid surface
to minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement. This washer is
equipped with four adjustable feet to compensate for an uneven floor.
1. Move the washer into location and position it where it will be used.
2. Level the washer from side to side and front to back. Make sure that all four feet
are firmly in contact with the floor and the washer rests solidly in position.
3. Leveling feet can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to extend (raise the
washer) or counterclockwise to retract (lower the washer).
4. When the washer is level, use a wrench to securely tighten all four locknuts
against the bottom of the washer cabinet.
Do not replace height adjustable feet with casters.
