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. Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the plastic bag located in the drum of the washer 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 (90° elbow end) to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not crossthread or over-tighten these connections. 3. Using pliers, squeeze the ears of the spring clamp and position the clamp so the clamp ears align with and contact the tabs on the drain hose. This assures proper location of the clamp to prevent leaks. 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. Carefully move the washer to its final location. NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift washer. 6. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer. No rocking of the washer should exist. Adjust the front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting solid. Rear leg adjustment is accessible through the front service panel. NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended the more the washer will vibrate. 7. Place the hook end of the drain hose in the drain opening. Secure the drain hose with the cable tie (provided in the enclosure package) to the standpipe, inlet hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull out from the force of the water. 5
