Installing The Washer; Replacement Parts - GE SH208 Owner's Manual

Installing the washer.

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.
Connect the inlet hose
2
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.
3 Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers
on the rear of the washer allow for easy movement in
undercounter installations. Gently lift up on the front
of the washer and slide back.
NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8 will engage the rear
legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift the
washer.
With the washer in its final position, place a level on
4
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 solid. Turn the lock nuts on
each leg up towards the base of the washer and snug
with a wrench.
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.
The washer is designed to operate resting on its rear
rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may
have to extend the rear leveling legs. For undercounter
installations, you can adjust the rear legs by removing
the front service panel.
Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with
5
the hose pointed toward the drain. 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.
