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. Remove the inlet hoses from the plastic bag. Remove
black rubber washers from bag and insert into hose
fitting before connecting to unit.
3. (90° elbow end)
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. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.)
7. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain
hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe.
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.
8. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an
outlet.
9. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
