Installing the Unit
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
Move unit so that it is within 1.2 meters (4 feet) of the
desired area of installation.
CAUTION
Washer and dryer are not designed to be
operated as separated, side-by-side units.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install unit on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. DO NOT install the unit on carpeting,
soft tile, pedestal, a platform or other weakly
supported structures.
Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses
WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used
for such a period and before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
Water Supply
Water supply faucets must fit standard 19.1 mm
(3/4 inch) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT
USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 16
o o
Celsius (60 to 80 Fahrenheit). Recommended
maximum hot water temperature is 51
o
(125 Fahrenheit). Warm water is a mixture of hot and
cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent
upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot
and cold water supply lines.

surfaces.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 138 to a
maximum of 827 kPa (20 to 120 psi) static pressure
measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 pounds
per square inch) will cause an extended fill time in
the washer and may not properly flush out the
detergent dispenser.
Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
material that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated buildings, it is very important to flush
the lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Connecting Hoses
Insert each filter screen into the end of each fill hose
that will connect to the water supply faucet. The
screen must be facing outward. Refer to Figure 2.
Insert each plain rubber washer into the other end of
each fill hose that will connect to the water mixing
valve at the rear of the washer. Refer to Figure 2.
Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger-
tight, then approximately 1/4 turn with pliers.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings. This will cause them to leak.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.
