INSTALLATION Leveling the Washer Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly leveling the washer. 1. For free standing installation and with the washer in it's final position, place a level on top of the washer. Adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and side-toside, and stable corner-to-corner. Cable Tie Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the washer is SOLID on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer. 2. For pedestal installations, See additional installation instructions included with the pedestal. Washer Connections 1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog up the water valve screens. 2. Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the plastic bag and install the rubber washers in each end of the inlet hoses. 3. Carefully connect the inlet hose (90° elbow end) marked "HOT" to the outside "H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the other inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not crossthread or overtighten these connections. 4. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks. NOTE: Use only new hoses. 5. Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain. Place in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package. NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could occur. There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action. Cable Tie Cable Tie 6. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
