Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the

INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer. All connections for

water, drain, electrical power and grounding must

comply with local codes and be made by licensed

personnel when required. Do not do it yourself

unless you know how!

3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

4. Do not add the following substances or textiles

containing traces of the following substances to

the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes,

cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-

cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners

or other flammable or explosive substances.

These substances give off vapors that could

ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire

by itself.

5. 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, before using a

washing machine or combination washer-dryer,

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.

6. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power

source.

7. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This appliance

is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning the use of

the appliance by a person responsible for their

safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or

agitator, if applicable, is moving.

9. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels

and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper

with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

10. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care

instructions supplied by the garment

manufacturer.

11. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical

burns, keep them out of the reach of children at

all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed

all warnings or precautions.

12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is

to agitate or spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch

by permitting the washer to agitate or spin with

the lid open. A brake will stop the washtub

within seconds if the lid is opened during

spinning. If the washtub does not stop when the

lid is opened, remove the washer from use and

call the service person.

14. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

15. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have your washer checked by a

qualified service person.

16. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or

attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the

skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the

washer from electrical supply before attempting

any service.

17. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,

not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a special cord or assembly

available from the manufacturer or its service

agent.

18. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the lid to the washing

compartment.

19. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent

or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions

you do not understand.

Before You Start

Tools

For most installations, the basic tools you will need

are:

Figure 1

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.

IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This

allows room for attaching exhaust duct.

Installing the Washer

Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and

Shipping Plug

Remove the shipping brace from under the lid.

The shipping plug will be released from the base of the

washer when removing the cardboard base from the

washer. Refer to Figure 2.

The shipping brace and plug should be saved and must

be reinstalled whenever washer is moved or

transported to a new location. This will prevent

damage to washer components.

Do not tilt washer to front or sides when moving.

Refer to User-Maintenance section for instructions on

reinstalling shipping brace and shipping plug.

Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub

Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner or a

detergent and water solution and a damp cloth to

remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

Figure 3

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply Requirements

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch

(19.1 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.

Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of

120 pounds per square inch (138 to 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.

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.)

TLW2099N

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

125°Fahrenheit (51°Celsius) and hot

surfaces.

W748

WARNING

Installation

202068

Connecting Hoses

Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from

accessories bag) in water fill hose couplings (two

hoses supplied with washer). Connect fill hoses to

water supply faucets. Then connect the hoses to the

hot and cold valve connections at the rear of the

washer. Refer to Figure 4. Thread hose couplings onto

valve connections finger tight. Then turn 1/4 turn with

pliers.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or

overtighten couplings.

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 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.

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.

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 (8 feet) (2.44 m)

No. 20618 Fill Hose (10 feet) (3.05 m)

Risers

Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the

pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The

risers are more efficient when installed as close as

possible to the water supply faucets. Refer to Figure 5.
