INSTALLATION

Leveling the Washer

Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer.

1. For free standing installation and with the washer in it's

final position, place a level on top of the washer. Adjust
the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and
side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.

Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the
slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the

washer is SOLID on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the

leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance
of the washer.

2. For pedestal installations. See additional installation

instructions included with the pedestal.

Washer Connections

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.

Carefully connect the inlet hose 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 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.

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.
