3. Ensure water faucets are turned on fully before using the washer for the first time.

Setting Up the Washer

2. Make sure the washer is level as per the installation instructions.
3. Run a wash cycle to verify correct operation and check for leaks at faucets and inlet hoses.

Electrical Safety
Plug the washer into a grounded 3-prong outlet and do not use adapters or extension cords to prevent electrical shock hazards.

WARNING
Fire Hazard

• Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
• No washer can completely remove oil.
• Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
• Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

REMOVING SHIPPING BOLTS

Position the washer so that the rear is within approximately 3 ft (914 mm) of its final location. Keep the washer in the upright position; using a 1/2″ wrench, loosen each of the four shipping bolts on the rear panel. Once each bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer and store them in  a location for use if the unit needs to be moved at a later date.
IMPORTANT : If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center for new transport bolts if the original set is misplaced. Machine must be transported in the upright position. To avoid structural or suspension damage to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician. Close the bolt holes with the four transport bolt hole plugs.\

KEY AND COIN BOX

LOCATION OF KEY
Coin box key (shown) comes taped to coin box lock. Document the key code (engraved on coin box key) in a safe place. If key is lost, contact 1-800-221-0982 X200 or X154 for replacement (not covered by warranty). Have key code handy; otherwise, locksmith will have to drill out coin box and replacement coin box (part no. W11190039) will have to be installed. Applies only to select models.

CONNECTING WATER/SECURING DRAIN HOSE

   Insert new hose washers (in separate bag) into each end of inlet hoses. Firmly seat washers into couplings. Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants when attaching to faucets.

2. CLEARWATER LINES
   Make sure that both hot and cold water hoses are connected to the correct faucets. The washer will not operate unless both hoses are connected.

3. CONNECT INLET HOSES TO WASHER AND CHECK FOR LEAKS
   Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants when attaching to washer. Turn on faucets and check for leaks at both ends of hoses.

4. IMPORTANT:
