Installation 13 Leveling the washer Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly leveling the washer. 1. For free standing installation and with the washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its final location, place a level on top of the washer. 2. Use an adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable cornerto-corner. 3. Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer. NOTE For pedestal installations, see additional installation instructions included with the pedestal. Connecting the water 1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the water valve screens and to determine which faucet is hot and which is cold supply. 2. Check to ensure that the inlet hoses have the rubber washer firmly in place. Rubber Washers Must Be Present USE ONLY NEW HOSES NOTE Hoses are not included with washer purchase. 3. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet connection on the washer and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD inlet connection on the washer. Cold Hot Cold inlet shown on left side (select models only) IMPORTANT The cold water inlet will have a blue cap cover on the inlet connection and the hot water inlet will have a red cap cover on the inlet connection. Additionally, depending on the model, the hot and cold inlet connections will be marked with either an adhesive label or markings directly on the unit to indicate which side is cold and which side is hot. 4. Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten each supply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread or overtighten these connections. 5.
