IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
• Has no dust, oil and detergent etc.
• Is away from direct sunlight
• Has adequate ventilation
• Will not freeze (tempuratures never below 32°F or 0°C)
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
• Has enough room for the power cord.
• Doesn’t have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your washer, you must remove all shipping bolts
from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the
spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Cover the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 12).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3
Installing your Washer
1. If you use a stand pipe, make sure the
connection between the drain hose and the
standpipe is NOT airtight. The standpipe
must be at least 18 in or 46 cm high.
You must always exercise caution to
avoid collapsing or damaging the drain
hose. For best results, the drain hose
should not be restricted in any way – by
elbows, couplings, or excessive length.For
situations where the drain hose cannot be
conveniently elevated to at least 18 in or
46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.
Do not insert the drain hose too far into
the stand pipe: 6 - 8 inches, and no more.
