WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-

duced in a hot water system that has not been used

for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. 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 accumula-

ted 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 19 mm [3/4 inch] female

garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-

ON CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessi-

ble to permit turning them off when washer is not being

used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 10° to 24° Celsius [50°

to 75° Fahrenheit]. Recommended maximum hot water tempera-

ture is 51° Celsius [125° Fahrenheit]. 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.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet

water temperatures higher than 51° Celsius [125°

Fahrenheit] and hot surfaces.

W748

Water pressure must be a minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827

kPa [minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square

inch] static pressure measured at the faucet.

Installation

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

6 Part No. 204301ENR1

NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa [20 pounds per

square inch] will cause an extended fill time in the

washer.

The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new

hose-sets and the old hose-sets should not be reused.

Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approxi-

mately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could

clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially im-

portant when installing your washer in a newly constructed or

renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construc-

tion.

Connecting Hoses

1. Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from accessories

bag) in water fill hose couplings (two hoses supplied with

washer). The filter screen must be facing outward.

Models Through Serial Nos. Beginning 1810:

NOTE: If using gray braided hoses with silver hose

couplings (one with hex nut): Insert filter screens in-

to the hex nut shaped hose couplings (BSPP

thread). Insert rubber washers into the knurled,

round shaped hose couplings (GHT).

Models Starting Serial Nos. Beginning 1810:

NOTE: Water mixing valve connections at rear of

washer are BSPP thread. Both hose couplings on fill

hoses included with machine are also BSPP thread.

2. Connect fill hose couplings with filter screens to water supply

faucets.

3. Connect the other hose couplings to the hot and cold valve

connections at the rear of the washer.

Models Through Serial Nos. Beginning 1810:

NOTE: If using gray braided hoses with silver hose

couplings (one with hex nut): Connect the hex nut

shaped hose couplings (BSPP thread, with filter

screens) to the water supply faucets. Then connect

couplings with knurled, round shaped couplings

(GHT) to the hot and cold water mixing valve con-

nections at rear of washer.

Models Starting Serial Nos. Beginning 1810:

NOTE: Water mixing valve connections at rear of

washer are BSPP thread. Both hose couplings on fill

hoses included with machine are also BSPP thread.

4. Make sure the hose from the hot water faucet goes to the wa-

ter mixing valve marked “H” and the hose from the cold fau-

cet goes to the valve marked “C”.

5. Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger tight.

Then turn 1/4 turn with pliers.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten

couplings. This will cause them to leak.

6. Turn water on and check for leaks.

7. If leaks are found, retighten the hose couplings.

8. Continue tightening and rechecking until no leaks are found.

IMPORTANT:

Hoses and other rubber parts deteriorate after exten-

ded use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or materi-

al wear from the temperature and constant high pres-

sure they are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for

any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing

the signs of deterioration listed above should be re-

placed immediately. All hoses should be replaced ev-

ery five years.

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after check-

out and demonstration. Owner should turn off water

supply whenever there will be an extended period of

non-use.

Connect Drain Hose to Drain

Receptacle

1. Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear

of the washer by unhooking the hose from the retainer clamp.

2. Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle (standpipe, wall

or laundry tub) following the instructions below.

NOTE: Drain receptacle must be capable of handling

a minimum of 32 mm [1-1/4 inch] outside diameter

drain hose.

Standpipe Installation

1. Check standpipe height. The recommended height for the

standpipe is 914 mm [36 inches]. Standpipes higher than 1220

mm [4 feet] will result in slower draining and may extend cy-

cle times.

NOTE: Machine will not drain if standpipe is higher

than 2438 mm [8 feet].

2. Place the drain hose into the standpipe.

IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place

any ribbed portion of the drain hose into the stand-

pipe.

3. Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and place

around standpipe and drain hose, approximately 300 mm [12

inches] down from the top of pipe. Refer to Figure 5 .

a. Insert the end of the beaded strap into the larger hole

found on the end of the strap.

b. Tighten to desired fit.

c. Lock strap in place by pulling beaded strap into the ta-

pered smaller opening of the beaded strap end. A distinct

snap noise should be heard once the strap is properly seat-

ed.

d. Pull on the strap once locked in place to ensure beaded

strap is properly installed. This will prevent the drain hose

from dislodging from drain receptacle during use.
