MOVE WASHER TO FINAL AREA;
REMOVE SHIPPING PLUG
Washer must be within 4 feet of desired area before
beginning installation. Open washer lid to remove
styrofoam shipping brace from agitator. Remove installation
parts from shipping brace for use.
NOTE: Save shipping plug; reinstall whenever
washer is moved more than 4 feet. Do not lift or
move washer without shipping materials in place.
When removing cardboard base panel under washer,
plastic shipping plug is released from washer. Remove plug
from cardboard base and save for reuse when moving
washer.
CONNECT WATER FILL HOSES TO WASHER
Tightly push one flat rubber washer into one end of each
water fill hose and attach this end of hose to washer. HOT
and COLD connections are identified by letters H and C
stamped into washer cabinet and by HOT and COLD
printed on water fill hoses.
Tighten hose connections by hand until snug, then another
¼ turn with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or over-tighten
couplings.
CONNECT WATER FILL HOSES TO FAUCETS
Before connecting hoses to water supply, turn on faucets
and flush lines for approximately 2 minutes to remove
foreign matter that could clog filter screens in water mixing
valve or fill hoses.
Tightly push one screened filter washer onto remaining end
of each water fill hose. Attach water hoses to HOT and
COLD faucets. BE SURE HOT WATER HOSE IS
CONNECTED TO HOT WATER FAUCET.
Tighten hose connections by hand until snug, then another
¼ turn with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or over-tighten
couplings. Turn on water and check for leaks. If leaks are
found, retighten hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.
SECURE DRAIN HOSE TO DRAIN
Remove drain hose from shipping position on rear of washer
by unhooking hose from retainer clamp. Use beaded tie-
down strap to secure “hook” end of drain hose to standpipe,
wall inlet hoses, or laundry tub (must hold at least 20
gallons).
