Remove Shipping Materials

•  Remove two screws at bottom of front access panel. Rotate bottom of panel out and remove panel.
•  Remove two 9/16 inch bolts and washers holding shippin brace to weight.
•  Remove two 9/16 inch bolts and washers holding shippin brace to washer base and remove brace.
•  Go to rear of washer and pull label from rear shipping bolts.
•  Remove two 9/16 inch bolts. Unscrew each bolt while applying forward pressure just until bolt stops unthreading. Work each bolt and spacer out by hand using a circular motion.
• NOTE: Avoid backing bolts out completely or spacers might fall into cabinet.
•  Insert two plugs included in accessories bag into rear shipping bolt holes.
•  Replace front access panel.
•  Save all shipping materials. They must be reinstalled any time washer is moved more than four feet.

Connect Fill Hoses

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

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 accumulated 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 accessible 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 temperature 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 Maximum flow rate for all water temperatures is 2.5 gallons per minute [9.46 liters per minute] ± 15%. 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. NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended fill time in the washer and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser. Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially important when installing your washer in a newly constructed or renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construction.

Connecting Hoses

•  Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens from the accessories bag.
•  Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure
•  The screen must be facing outward.
• 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.
•  Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
•  Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the wate mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the hot water faucet goes to the wate mixing valve marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from the cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”. Refer to Figure  Figure 7 .
•  Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten couplings. This will cause them to leak.
•  Turn water on and check for leaks.
•  If leaks are found, turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them until there are no leaks.
• IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.
