WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. 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 accumulat-
ed hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Water Supply Requirements
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female
garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-
ON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessi-
ble to permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75° Fahrenheit
[10° to 24° Celsius]. Recommended maximum hot water temper-
ature is 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius]. Warm water is a mixture
of hot and cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent
upon the water temperature and the pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet
water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit [51°
Celsius] and hot surfaces.
W748
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827
kPa] static pressure measured at the faucet.
Installation
6 © Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT Part No. 202955R1

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended fill time in the
washer.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approxi-
mately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could
clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially im-
portant when installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construc-
tion.
Connecting Hoses
1. Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens
from the accessories bag.
2. Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure
4 . The screen must be facing outward.
3. Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water
faucets until they are finger-tight. Use the red color-coded
hose for the hot water connection and the blue color-coded
hose for the cold water connection.
4. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
5. Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water
mixing valve until they are finger-tight. 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”. Refer to Figure
Figure 4 .
6. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
7. Turn water on and check for leaks.
8. If leaks are found, turn off the water, unscrew hoses and rein-
stall them until there are no leaks.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever there
will be an extended period of non-use.

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 subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible
signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deteriora-
tion listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses
should be replaced every five years.
Connect Drain Hose to Drain Recepta-
cle
1. Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear
of the washer by unhooking the hose from the retainer clamp.
2. Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle (standpipe, wall
or laundry tub) following the instructions below.
NOTE: Drain receptacle must be capable of handling
a minimum of 1-1/4 inch [32 cm] outside diameter
drain hose.
Standpipe Installation
1. Check standpipe height. The recommended height for the
standpipe is 36 inches [914 mm]. Standpipes higher than 4
feet [1220 mm] are not recommended.
2. Place the adapter into the standpipe.
IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place
any ribbed portion of the drain hose into the stand-
pipe.
3. Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and place
around standpipe and drain hose, approximately 12 inches
[300 mm] down from the top of pipe. Refer to Figure 5 .

Earth/Ground Instructions
This appliance must be properly connected to protective earth/
ground. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the earth/
ground will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path
of least resistance for electric current.
The appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment earth/
ground conductor and a three-prong earth/ground plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly instal-
led and connected to a protective earth/ground in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment earth/ground
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the unit is properly
connected to a protective earth/ground.
W893
• DO NOT modify the plug provided with the unit – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• If the laundry room’s electrical supply does not meet the
above specifications and/or if you are not sure the laundry
room has an effective earth/ground, have a qualified electri-
cian or your local electrical utility company check it and cor-
rect any problems.
WARNING
This unit is equipped with a three-prong (earth/
ground) plug for your protection against shock haz-
ard and should be plugged directly into a protective
earth/ ground three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the earth/ground prong from this plug.
W823
Add Water to the Washer
To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before adding at
least one quart [0.95 liter] water to the tub. If the washer is run
before any water is added, the pump seal may overheat, causing
the pump to leak. Once installed, the water retained in the drain
system from the previous cycle will provide sufficient cooling to
prevent pump seal damage.
NOTE: The agitator should not be removed except for
service. The washtub is designed to be self-cleaning.
