INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

NOTE: To avoid oor damage, set washer onto cardboard

before moving it.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

nA 120 V, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 A or 20 A, fused electrical supply

is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

nThis washer is equipped with a power supply cord having

a 3 prong grounding plug.

nTo minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed

by a qualied electrician.

nIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

nDo not ground to a gas pipe.

nCheck with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

nDo not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

48"

(1.2 m)

1. Move washer

It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper

operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

Move washer to within 4 ft (1.2 m) of its nal location. It must

be in a fully upright position.

Loosen bolts with a 5/8" (16 mm) wrench. Slide each bolt

and spacer to center of hole. Pull bolts and plastic spacers

from back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has

been completed.

3. Remove transport bolts from

washer

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose,

squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hose,

centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp

with pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain

port and secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6.

For a oor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form

as shown in Step 5. You may need additional parts with

separate directions. See “Alternate Parts.”

It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the

drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that

will avoid the drain hose coming out of or leaking from the

plumbing/drain.

4. Attach drain hose to drain port

A- Ribs

2. Locate transport bolts

Locate four transport bolts on rear of washer.

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry

tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run

until clear.

9. Clear water lines

8. Connect inlet hoses to water

faucets

For oor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain

hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need

additional parts with separate directions. See “Alternate Parts”.

5. Remove drain hose form

(oor drain installations only)

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of

laundry tub.

IMPORTANT: Only 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be

inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or

lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.

6. Place drain hose in standpipe

4.5"

(114 mm)

Drain

hose form

CONNECT INLET HOSES

IMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet

hoses have at washers at both ends. Washer must be

connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with at

washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use

hoses without washers.

Attach the hose labeled hot to hot water faucet. Screw

on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers

to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat

this step with the hose labeled cold for the cold water faucet.

Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot

water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most

standard congurations, hoses will cross over each other

when attached correctly.

7. Insert new at washers

Coupling Washer

LEVEL WASHER

IMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess

noise and vibration.

Remove cardboard from beneath washer. Place a level on top

edges of washer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip

washer and adjust feet up or down as shown in steps 15 and 16,

repeating as necessary.

13. Check levelness of washer

Place level here

14. Rock washer to test foot contact

Grip washer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all

four feet are rmly on oor. Repeat, rocking washer from side

to side. If washer rocks, go to step 15 and adjust leveling feet.

If all four feet are in rm contact with oor, go to Step 16.

10. Connect inlet hoses to washer

Not Level LEVEL Not Level

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling

by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an

additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tap or sealants on

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

NOTE: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every

5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for

future reference.

nPeriodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.

Slowly turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small

amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.

11. Check for leaks

Secure drain hose to laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet

hoses for wall standpipe with cable tie.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

qCheck electrical requirements. Be sure you have correct

electrical supply and recommended grounding method.

qCheck that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,

go back through steps to see what was skipped.

qCheck that you have all of your tools.

qCheck that transport materials were completely removed from

back of washer.

qCheck that both hot and cold hoses are attached and water

faucets are on.

qCheck for leaks around faucets, valves, and inlet hoses.

qRemove protective lm from console and any tape

remaining on washer.

qCheck that washer is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

qDispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

qRead “Using Your Washer” in your Washer Use and Care

Guide.

qTo test and clean your washer, press POWER and choose the

Quick cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE

detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount

for a medium-size load.

If washer is not level, use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end or

adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until

they are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer cabinet. Then

turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer or

counterclockwise to raise the washer. Do not exceed

2" (50 mm) from bottom of foot to bottom of cabinet. Recheck

levelness of washer and that all four feet are rmly in contact

with the oor. Repeat as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of washer

about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that

will support weight of washer.

When washer is level and all four feet are rmly in contact with

the oor, use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end or adjustable wrench

to turn jam nuts counterclockwise on leveling feet tightly

against washer cabinet.
