Spécifications électriques ■ Ne pas installer un fusible dans le conducteur neutre ou le circuit de liaison à la terre. ■ Une alimentation de 120 volts, 60-Hz, CA seulement, de 15 ou 20 ampères, protégée par un fusible est requise. On recommande d'utiliser un fusible ou un disjoncteur temporisé. Il est recommandé de raccorder l'appareil sur un circuit distinct exclusif à cet appareil. ■ Cette laveuse comporte un cordon d'alimentation électrique à trois broches pour liaison à la terre. ■ Pour minimiser les risques de choc électrique, on doit brancher le cordon sur une prise de courant de configuration correspondante, à 3 alvéoles, reliée à la terre et installée conformément aux codes et règlements locaux. Si une prise de courant de configuration correspondante n'est pas disponible, le client a la responsabilité et l'obligation de faire installer par un électricien qualifié une prise de courant correctement reliée à la terre. ■ Si les codes le permettent et si on utilise un conducteur distinct de liaison à la terre, il est recommandé qu'un électricien qualifié vérifie la qualité de la liaison à la terre. ■ Ne pas utiliser une tuyauterie de gaz pour le raccordement à la terre. ■ En cas de doute quant à la qualité de la liaison à la terre de la laveuse, consulter un électricien qualifié. 30

installation instructions	7
Remove Transport System	7
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its final location.	7
There are 4 transport bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.	7
1. On the back of the washer, loosen the 4 transport bolts using a 13 mm wrench.	7
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.	7
3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.	7
4. Cover the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.	7
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.	7
Connect the Inlet Hoses	7
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.	7
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets	7
Make sure washer drum is empty and flat washers have been placed into hose couplings. Both hoses must be used for the washer to work properly.	7
1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.	7
2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.	7
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.	7
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling or water faucet can result. Both faucets must be turned on for the washer to work properly.	7
Clear the water lines	7
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer	8
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the flat washers have been placed into the hose couplings.	8
1. Attach the hot water hose to the washer’s hot (H) water inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.	8
2. Attach the cold water hose to the washer’s cold (C) water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.	8
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.	8
4. Turn on the water faucets completely and check for leaks.	8
Connect the Drain Hose	8
Remove drain hose from washer drum	8
1. Use locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together and insert over the end of drain hose.	8
2. Slide drain hose onto washer connection.	8
3. Once drain hose is in place, release pliers.	8
4. Washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.	8
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain	8
Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.	8
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:	8
Floor drain	8
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”	8
Secure the Drain Hose	9
Drain hose must be secured to stop the hose from moving when water is pumped out. If the drain hose moves, water may end up on the floor.	9
1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.	9
2. Move the washer to its final location.	9
3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown. See illustrations A and B.	9
NOTES:	9
4. If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as shown. See illustration C.	9
Level the Washer	9
Proper foot to floor contact and leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and vibration.	9
NOTE: Installing washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.	9
1. Slide the washer to its final location.	9
2. Check that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.	9
3. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side to side then front to back.	9
4. Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Then check that the washer is perfectly level (use a level). Repeat steps 1-3 until washer is level.	9
5. After the washer is level, and all four feet are in firm contact with the floor, use a 9/16\	9
6. The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or diagonally when pushed on its top edges.	9
7. Confirm the levelness of the washer.	9
Complete Installation	9
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method. See “Electrical Requirements.”	9
2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.	9
