IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing your Washer.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
We recommend you hire a professional for installation of this washer.
STEP 1
Selecting a Location
Before you install your washer, make sure the location:
•
Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
•
Has no dust, oil and detergent etc.
•
Is away from direct sunlight
•
Has adequate ventilation
•
Will not freeze (below 32°F or 0°C)
•
Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas
•
Has enough slack for the power cord.
•
Doesn't have any carpeting that will obstruct ventilation openings.
STEP 2
Removing the Shipping Bolts
Before using your washer, you must remove all shipping bolts
from the back of the unit.
1. Loosen all the bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with the
spacer through the hole in the rear wall of your washer.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied Bolt Hole Covers (See page 12).
4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.
STEP 3
Installing your 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.
The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46
cm high.
Caution must always be exercised to
avoid collapsing or damaging the drain
hose. For best results, the drain hose
should not be restricted in any way – by
elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.
For situations where the drain hose
cannot be conveniently elevated to at
least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must
be supported.
