INSTALLATION
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 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.
NOTE: Use only new hoses provided with this unit.
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 washer.
With the washer in its final position, place a level
on top of the washer
(if an undercounter
installation, no rocking of the washer should exist).
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, tfthe floor is not level or is damaged,
the rear leveling legs may have to be extended.
For undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment
is accessible through the front service panel.
Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with
the hose pointed toward the drain. Place in a
laundry tub or standpipe and secure 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.
