STEP 3
INSTALL THE WASHER
1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be sure an airtight
connection is NOT made between the drain hose and the
standpipe. Standpipe must be at least 18" high.
NOTE: If drain standpipe is in excess of 5 feet above floor level, a
drain hose extension kit (Part #12002482) will need to be installed.
If drain standpipe is in excess of 10 feet above floor level, a pump
accessory kit (Part #12001674) may need to be installed.
NOTE: Caution must always be exercised to avoid collapsing or
damaging the drain hose. For best performance the drain hose
should not be restricted in any way, through elbows, couplings or
excessive lengths.
For installations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently
elevated to at least 18", the drain hose must be supported.
2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside of each fill
hose. Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet con-
nections. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber
washer per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve.
Make sure the hose marked "HOT"is attached to the HOT
faucet. Tighten by hand until snug and the 2/3 of a turn with
pliers. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
NOTE: For the right use of water, connect both HOT and COLD water
valve. If one is not connected, "nF"(No fill) Error can occur.
3. Turn on "HOT" and "COLD" water supply and check all
connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks.
NOTE:Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10
feet.
4. Plug power cord into a grounded 120 volt 60 Hz approved
electrical service protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit
breaker. This washer is grounded through the third prong of the
power cord when plugged into a three prong grounded receptacle.
5. Slide washer into position.
6. Level washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as necessary
by hand. When the washer is level, tighten the leveling leg lock
nuts up against the base of the washer using the wrench
supplied with the washer. NOTE: The washer must be leveled
on all 4 sides. A carpenter's level should be used on all 4
corners of the washer. It's a good idea after the first dozen
washes to recheck the levelness of the washer.
