Installation

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 3.

NOTE: Do not tilt washer to front or sides when

moving.

Save the shipping brace and plug. They must be

reinstalled whenever washer is moved or transported

to a new location. This will prevent damage to the

washer. Refer to the User’s Guide for instructions on

reinstalling the shipping materials.

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.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply

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.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to

permit turning them off when washer is not being

used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 50o to 75o

Fahrenheit (10oto 24oCelsius). Recommended hot

water temperature is 140oto 150oFahrenheit (60oto

66oCelsius). 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 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 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 5. 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. Use the red

color-coded hose for the hot water connection and the

blue color-coded hose for the cold water connection.

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 6. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the

hot water faucet goes to the water mixing valve

marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from the

cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle

(standpipe, wall or laundry tub) following the

instructions below.

IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of

handling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch (32 cm) outside

diameter drain hose.

Standpipe Installation:

Place the adapter into the standpipe.

The recommended height for the standpipe is

36 inches (91.44 cm). Standpipes higher than 4 feet

(122 cm) are not recommended.

Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and

place around standpipe and drain hose, approximately

12 inches (30 cm) down from the top of pipe and

tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure

7. This will prevent the drain hose from dislodging

from drain receptacle during use.

IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place

any ribbed portion of the drain hose into the

standpipe.

at extra cost) through an authorized dealer or parts

distributor. Installation instructions are supplied with

the kit.

Wall Installation:

For installations of this type, the drain hose MUST be

secured to one of the fill hoses using the beaded strap

from accessories bag. Refer to Figure 9.

NOTE: End of drain hose must be below height of

cabinet top.

Laundry Tub Installation:

For this type of installation, the drain hose MUST be

secured to the stationary tub to prevent hose from

disloding during use. Refer to Figure 10. Use the

beaded strap (supplied in accessories bag) to secure

hose.

We recommend leaving the standpipe adapter on the

drain hose for this type of installation.

Step 5: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for

installation and servicing.

Place washer in position on a clean, dry and

reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any

type of carpeting is not recommended.

For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with

a wooden block. Refer to Figure 11. Place rubber feet

(supplied in accessories bag) on all four leveling legs.

Refer to Figure 12.

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the washer

is level from side to side and front to back.

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

front leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs

by screwing into or out of washer base.

Once adjusted, tilt the washer forward on front legs

and lower back down into position to set the rear self-

leveling legs.

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 not remain stationary during

operation.

Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will

cause excessive vibration.

Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs

have been extended. Legs and base could become

damaged.

Verify that washer does not rock.

Step 6: 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

to determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or

personal injury, all wiring and grounding

MUST conform with the latest edition of

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70, and such local regulations as might

apply. It is the customer’s responsibility

to have the wiring, fuses and circuit

breakers installed by a qualified

electrician to make sure adequate

electrical power is available to the washer.

WARNING

W518

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

electric power source.

W082

WARNING

201958

Grounding Information

The washer must be grounded. In the event of

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current.

The washer is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a 3-prong

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided with the washer - if it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the

polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading

is measured other than that in Figure 13, the

qualified electrician should correct the problem.

NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the

control hood.

Step 7: Add Water to the Washer

To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before

adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer

is run before any water is added, the pump seal may

overheat causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the

water retained in the drain system from the previous

cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump

seal damage.

NOTE: The agitator should not be removed except

for service. The washtub is designed to be self-

cleaning.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service person if you are in

doubt as to whether the washer is

properly grounded.

W216

WARNING

This unit is equipped with a three-prong

(grounding) plug for your protection

against shock hazard and should be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or

remove the grounding prong from this

plug.

opened.

Step 9: Check Installation

Refer to Installer Checklist on the back cover of this

manual and make sure that washer is installed

correctly.

Run washer through one complete cycle to make sure

it is operating properly.
