^WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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 13 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 and close the hole with the attached cap.
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
to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a
certified technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Make sure the washer drum is empty. The washer must be
connected to the water faucets using new inlet hoses (not
provided). Do not use old hoses.
Insert new flat washers into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly
seat the washers in the couplings.

A. Coupling
B. Washer
Attach a hose to the hot (left) inlet valve. Attaching to the hot
inlet valve first makes it easier to tighten connection with
pliers. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the
washer.
2. Attach a hose to the cold (right) water inlet valve. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
H. Hot water inlet
C. Cold water inlet
Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings
already attached to the washer.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
Attach hot water hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
Attach cold water hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
