Installation

Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation

Area

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: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for

installation and servicing.

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.

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.

For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with

a wooden block. Refer to Figure 3.

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the

washer is level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top

panel. Refer to Figure 3.

If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front

and rear leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust

legs by screwing into or out of washer base.

Make sure that the washer does not rock. When

washer is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts

securely against bottom of washer base. If these

locknuts are not tight, washer will move out of

position during operation.

Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs

have been extended. Legs and base could become

damaged.

Place rubber feet (supplied in accessories bag) on all

four leveling legs. Refer to Figure 3.

Verify that washer does not rock.

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.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply

Water supply faucets must fit standard 19.1 mm

(3/4 inch) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT

USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to

permit turning them off when washer is not being

used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 16oto 27o

Celsius (60o to 80o Fahrenheit). Recommended

maximum hot water temperature is 51° Celsius

(125° Fahrenheit). Warm water is a mixture of hot and

cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent

upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot

and cold water supply lines.

Water pressure must be a minimum of 138 to a

maximum of 827 kPa (20 to 120 psi) static pressure

measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 psi) will

cause an extended fill time in the washer and may

not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.

Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for

approximately two minutes to remove any foreign

material that could clog the screens in the water

mixing valve.

NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or

renovated buildings, it is very important to flush

the lines since 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 4. The

screen must be facing outward.

Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the

water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a

pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.

Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the

water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then,

using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to

Figure 5.

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.

NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional

equipment at extra cost) if the hoses supplied with

the washer are not long enough for the installation.

Order hoses as follows:

No. 20617 Fill Hose 2.44 m (8 feet)

No. 20618 Fill Hose 3.05 m (10 feet)

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.

W029

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, avoid contact

with inlet water temperatures higher than

51° Celsius (125° Fahrenheit) and hot

surfaces.

W750

WARNING

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

subject 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

replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced

every five years.

Step 4: 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 the shipping tape.

Control Function Test

The washer should be cleaned after the installation is

complete. A function test should then be executed on

the unloaded machine:

1. Check the power supply for such characteristics

as correct voltage, phase, and cycles to be certain

they are correct for the washer.

2. Open manual shut-off valves to the washer.

3. Apply power to the washer.

Step 8: Plug in the Washer

Washer requires 120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical supply

and comes equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.

Refer to serial plate for specific electrical

requirements.

When plugging in the washer:

•DO NOT overload circuits.

•DO NOT use an extension cord.

•DO NOT use an adapter.

•DO NOT operate both a washer and gas dryer on

the same circuit. Use separately fused 15 Amp

circuits.

The washer is designed to be operated on a separate

branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit

protected by a 15 Amp fuse, equivalent fusetron or

circuit breaker.

The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord

should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot

effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts

AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. Refer to Figure 13
