Frigidaire FEX831FS Installation Instructions (All Languages) - Page 10

INSTALLATION 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. Check inlet hoses to ensure the rubber washers are installed in each end. 3. Carefully connect the inlet hoses to the water valve (on the left side of the washer cabinet), tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. c. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution. NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME. 8. Form a " U " shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie provided in the enclosure package. WATER WILL SYPHON FROM THE WASHER IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED. CAUTION DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS. 4. Determine which water faucet is the HOT water faucet and carefully connect the bottom inlet hose to the HOT water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the top inlet hose to the COLD water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. CAUTION DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS. Turn the water on and check for leaks at both connections. 5. Carefully move the laundry center to its final location. 6. To ensure the laundry center is level and solid on all four legs, tilt the laundry center forward so the rear legs are off the ground. Gently set the laundry center back down to allow the rear legs to self adjust. Place a level on top of the washer. Check it side to side, then front to back. Screw the front leveling legs up or down to ensure the laundry center is resting solid on all four legs (no rocking of the laundry center should exist). NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. Cable Tie 9. Remove the two (2) screws securing the dryer front access panel to the dryer cabinet. Lift the panel until the tabs can be disengaged from the cabinet. Remove the panel and set aside. 7. GAS CONNECTION (Gas laundry centers only) a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the dryer. NOTE: DO NOT connect the laundry center to L.P. gas service without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be installed by a qualified gas technician. b. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe from the gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) to 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections. 10 Access Panel Screws
