INSTALLING THE WASHER
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush
the water lines and remove particles that might clog
the water valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses from the plastic bag. Remove
black rubber washers from bag and insert into hose
fitting before connecting to unit.
3. (90° elbow end)
Carefully connect the inlet hose
marked HOT to the outside "H"
outlet of the 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 cross-
thread or overtighten 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.
5. Carefully move the washer to its final
location. Gently rock the washer into position. It is
important not to damage the rubber leveling legs when
moving your washer to its final location. Damaged
legs can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful
to spray window cleaner on the floor to help move
your washer into its final position. NOTE: To reduce
vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs
are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull on the
back right and then back left of your washer.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer.
NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can
use a 24-inch-long 2x4 to lever the washer into place.
6. With the washer in its final position, place a level on
top of the washer (if the
washer is installed under a
counter, the washer should
not be able to rock). Adjust
the front leveling legs up
or down to ensure the
washer is resting solidly.
Turn the locknuts on each
leg up toward 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.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to
extend the rear leveling legs.

NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could
occur. There must be an air gap around the drain hose.
A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.
NOTE: Do not place drain hose deeper than 7" into
the drain. 4" - 7" is suggested. Deeper than 7" can
cause a siphoning action.
8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into
an outlet.
9. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
10. Read the rest of this Owner's Manual. It contains
valuable and helpful information that will save you
time and money.
11. Before starting the washer, check to make sure:
Main power is turned on.
The washer is plugged in.
The water faucets are turned on.
The unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly
on the floor.
The shipping support hardware is removed and
saved.
The drain hose is properly tied up.
There are no leaks at the faucet, drain line or
washer.
12. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check for
water leaks and proper operation.
13. If your washer does not operate, please review the
Troubleshooting Tips section before calling for
service.
14. Place these instructions in a location near the
washer for future reference.
