INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer
is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the
suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain
the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.
1. Using a 12 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and
completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer
covering the bolt.
3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers.
Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear
panel.
4. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your
local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage,
your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified
technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer drum is empty.
1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
■ Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
■ Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
