INSTALLING THE WASHER
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush
the water lines and remove particles that might clog
the water valve screens .
2. Obtain inlet hoses locally .
3. Ensure there is a rubber washer in the hoses . Reinstall
the rubber washer into the hose fitting if it has fallen out
during shipment . 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 cross-thread or overtighten
these connections.
4. Install the screen washers by
inserting them into the free
ends of the inlet hoses with
protruded side facing the
faucet .
5. 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 .
6. Carefully move the washer to
its final location . Gently rock the washer into position .
It is important not to damage the rubber leveling
legs when moving your washer to its final location .
Damaged legs can increase washer vibration . It may
be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to
help move your washer into its final position . NOTE:
To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber
leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push
and pull on the back right and then back left of
your washer.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer .
NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can
use a 24-inch-long 2x4 to lever the washer into place .
7. With the washer in its final
position, place a level on top
of the washer (if the washer is
installed under a counter, the
washer should not be able to
rock) . Adjust the front leveling
legs up or down to ensure the
washer is resting solidly . Turn the
locknuts on each leg up toward the base of the washer
and snug with a wrench .

INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.)
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to
prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the
legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to
extend the rear leveling legs .
8. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain
hose . Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe
and secure it with the cable tie provided in the
enclosure package .

NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could
occur . There must be an air gap around the drain hose .
A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action .
NOTE: Do not place drain hose deeper than 7" into
the drain . 4" - 7" is suggested . Deeper than 7" can
cause a siphoning action .
