Installing the Washer

NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day

(below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room

or area during the cold months, do not attempt to

operate it until the washer has had a chance to

warm up.

Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation

Area

IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This

allows room for attaching exhaust duct.

Move washer as close to the desired area of

installation as possible.

NOTE: For best performance and to minimize

vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,

sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be

reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a

basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting,

soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported

structures.

Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses

NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply

Requirements before connecting fill hoses.

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.

NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or

renovated building, it is very important to flush the

lines since build-up may have occurred during

construction.

Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter

screens from accessories bag, and install them

according to Figure 3 and Figure 4.

NOTE: Check filter screens for debris or damage

annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.

IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve

connections finger-tight, then approximately

1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross thread or

overtighten couplings.

Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,

retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and

rechecking until no leaks are found.

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 yearly basis for

any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing

the signs of deterioration listed above should be

replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced

every five years.

Step 3: Connect Drain Hose to Drain

Receptacle

Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on

the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the

retainer clamp and by removing shipping tape.

Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are

appropriate for your type of drain receptacle

(standpipe, sink, wall, or laundry tub). Follow these

instructions to properly install the drain hose.

IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of

handling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch (3.2 cm) outside

diameter drain hose.

Standpipe Installation

Place the drain hose into the standpipe.

Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories

bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and

tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. This will

prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain

receptacle during use.

Sink Installation

For this type of installation, use the beaded tie-down

strap (supplied in accessories bag) or use a large wire

tie (available from your local hardware store), and

secure the drain hose to the cabinet top hinge (refer to

Figure 7). This will prevent the drain hose from

dislodging during use.

Figure 7

In-the-Wall Installation

For installations of this type, the drain hose MUST be

secured to one of the fill hoses using the beaded tie-

down strap from accessories bag.

NOTE: End of drain hose must not be below 24 in.

(61 cm).

Laundry Tub Installation

For this type of installation, the drain hose MUST be

secured to the stationary tub to prevent hose from

dislodging during use. Use the beaded tie-down strap

(supplied in accessories bag) to secure hose.

Step 4: Position and Level the Washer

Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level

floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting,

soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported

structures is not recommended.

Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust the front and rear

leveling legs until the washer is level from side to side

and front to back (using a level). Washer should not

rock.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top

panel. Refer to Figure 10.

Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer

base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not

tight, washer will move out of position during operation.

NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the

leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base

could become damaged.

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door

as a handle in the transportation of the washer may

cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Figure 9

FLW1961N

Washers elevated above floor level must be

anchored to that elevated surface, base or

platform. The material used to elevate the

washer should also be anchored to the floor

to ensure that the washer will not walk or

that the washer can not be physically

pulled, tipped or slid from its installed

position. Failure to do so may result in

conditions which can produce serious

injury, death and/or property damage.
