7.
From the back of the washer, remove the wire shipping clips
securing the drain hose and power cord. On some models,
PLASTIC CLAMPS secure the drain hose to the right side of the
washer backsheet. These clamps form a standpipe to prevent
water siphoning. DO NOT REMOVE THESE CLAMPS.
8.
Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet of the final location
for the start of the installation.
INSTALLATION
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.
Check inlet hoses to ensure that the rubber washers are installed
in each end (If your washer has inlet hoses already attached to
the water valve, proceed to step 4).
3.
Carefully connect the inlet hoses to the water
valve (on the left side of the washer cabinet),
tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn
with pliers.
DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR
OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS.
4.
Determine which water faucet is the HOT
water faucet and carefully connect the bottom inlet hose to the
HOT water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3
turn with pliers. Carefully connect the top inlet hose to the COLD
water faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn
with pliers.
OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS.
Turn the water on and check for leaks at both connections.
5.
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer. For free standing installation and with the
washer in it's final position, place a level ontop 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.
