Product Usage Instructions
Removing Shipping Bolts
Before setting up the washer, ensure to remove any shipping bolts that may
be in place to prevent damage during operation.
Connecting Water/Securing Drain Hose
- Connect new inlet hoses to faucets and insert new hose washers into each end of the hoses.
- Connect the inlet hoses to the washer and check for leaks. Make sure both hot and cold water hoses are connected to the correct faucets.
- Ensure water faucets are turned on fully before using the washer for the first time.
- Install and secure the drain hose properly to avoid leaks or blockages. Do not seal the drain hose or insert more than 4.5 inches into the drainpipe.
Setting Up the Washer
- Clearwater lines before use.
- Make sure the washer is level as per the installation instructions.
- 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
