before moving it.

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

re, or electrical shock.

WARNING

n A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, 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.

2. Locate transport bolts

Locate four transport bolts on rear of washer.

Loosen bolts with a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench. Slide each bolt and

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

back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.

3. Remove transport bolts from

washer

Close bolt holes on cabinet back with four transport bolt hole

plugs included with washer parts.

4. Cover bolt holes with transport

bolt hole plugs

Pull power cord through opening in rear panel and close hole

with attached cap.

NOTE: If washer is transported at later date, call your local

service center to avoid suspension and structural damage,

a certied technician must properly set up washer for

relocation.

5. Remove power cord

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

6. Place power cord over top

Remove the yellow shipping strap from the cord. Gently

place power cord over top of washer to allow free access

to back of washer.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has

been completed.

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 9.

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

as shown in Step 8. You may need additional parts with

separate directions. See “Alternate Parts”.

7. Attach drain hose to drain port

Ribs

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry

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

until clear.

12. Clear water lines

11. 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”.

8. Remove drain hose form

(oor drain installations only)

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

laundry tub.

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.

Insert new at washers

A. Coupling B. Washer

LEVEL WASHER

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 18 and

19, repeating as necessary.

16. Check levelness of washer

Place level here

17. 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 18 and adjust leveling feet.

If all four feet are in rm contact with oor, go to Step 19.

13. 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.

14. Check for leaks

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

hoses for wall standpipe with cable tie.

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.

If washer is not level, use a 9/16" or 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. 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" or 14 mm open-end or adjustable wrench
