INSTALLATION
1. 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.
2. Remove the inlet hoses and
rubber washers from the plastic
bag and install the rubber
washers in each end of the inlet
hoses.
3. (90° elbow end) Carefully connect
the inlet hose marked "HOT" tothe
outside "H" outlet ofthe water valve.
Tighten by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Carefully connect the other inlet hose 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-tighten these connections.
4. 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 provided with this unit.
5. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers
on the rear of the washer allow for easy movement in
undercounter installations. Gently lift up on the front of
the washer and slide back.
NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8" will engage the rear
legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door
to liftwasher.
6. With the washer in its final position, place a level on
top of the washer (if an undercounter installation, no
rocking of the washer should exist). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is
resting solid. 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.
The washer is designed to operate resting on its rear
rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, the rear
leveling legs may have to be extended. For
undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment is
accessible through the front service panel.
7. 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.
