•Place the appliance on a level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded, in a room that has convenient access to a water supply and drain, has low moisture and humidity and does not freeze in winter.
•Do not place the appliance on carpeted flooring as this can block the lower ventilation openings.
•Keep the appliance away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat or sunlight can deform or discolour the appliance.
•This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled such as garages, porches, vehicles, etc, because water lines may freeze.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that the appliance is level to help avoid unbalanced loads and excessive noise.
The leveling foot is located on the front right side of the appliance. There is a solid foot on the front left side of the appliance and there are two rollers on the back.

ACCESSORIES AND PREPARATION
You will need the following tools to install the washer:
•Wrench
•Pliers
•Screwdriver
Ensure that all provided accessories are present and accounted for:
1.One water supply hose
2.One quick connect adapter
3.One noise proof plate
4.One screw
NOISE PROOF PLATE INSTALLATION
The noise proof plate will help to muffle excessive noise from the appliance during agitation. Follow the steps below to install the noise proof plate.
1. Remove the noise proof plate from the packaging. It will be shipped on top of the appliance at the top of the box.
2. Slide the noise proof plate into the channel in the base of the appliance and secure with the provided screw.
WATER SUPPLY
The water supply faucet must fit standard 3/4” (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections as the water pressure may cause them to leak.
Tighten all connections by hand until they are snug and then tighten them another quarter turn with a wrench to ensure they are secure.
Check all connections for leaks before using the appliance. If leaks are detected, it may be necessary to add a rubber washer or Teflon tape to the connection.
The water inlet hose should always be connected to a cold water supply.
Using the quick connect assembly
The quick connect assembly can be used to connect the appliance to a kitchen or bathroom faucet to provide water to the appliance.
A breakdown of the quick connect assembly is below.
1.Quick connect assembly
2.Rubber washer
3.Faucet adapter
4.White locking collar
5.Water inlet hose
Connecting the quick connect to the water supply
Remove the aerator from the faucet before attaching the faucet adapter.
Pull down on the locking collar and pull up on the faucet adapter to remove the adapter from the assembly and then install the adapter on the faucet.
Turn on the faucet to check for leaks at the connection before continuing. If leaks are present, it may be necessary to wrap the faucet adapter or the faucet with Teflon tape before connecting the adapter to the faucet.
Pull down on the locking collar and push the quick connect assembly onto the bottom of the faucet adapter. Release the locking collar to attach the quick connect to the faucet.
Attach one end of the water inlet hose to the quick connect assembly. Place the other end of the hose in the sink and turn on the water supply to clear the hose of any dust. When the water runs clear, turn off the water supply and connect the hose to the water inlet connection on the top of the appliance.
DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION
The drain hose will arrive pre-attached to the appliance. During operation of the appliance, the drain hose should be directed toward a sink or drain to catch the discarded water as it exits the appliance.
When running the drain hose to a drain, ensure that there are no bends in the hose as this can cause a blockage and impede the drain function.
The drain hose can be directed upward toward a sink or bucket but ensure that the hose does not rise more than 100 cm (39 in) from the ground as this can impact the drain function.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, ensure that the water inlet hose has been disconnected and that the power cord has been unplugged.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a warm, damp cloth. Avoid using detergents or chemicals as this can damage or discolor the cabinet.
LINT FILTER
The lint filter is on the interior of the wash tub and should be cleaned approximately every 10 cycles. Remove the lint filter from the tub, open it and remove any lint that has accumulated. It can be rinsed under cold water but do not use detergents or chemicals. Ensure that the lint filter is replaced in the appliance before beginning a new program.
PUMP FILTER
The pump filter is on the back of the appliance and should be cleaned once a month. Remove the filter from the rear of the appliance and rinse it under cold water. Ensure the pump filter is replaced in the appliance before beginning a new program.
WATER INLET
The water inlet may require periodic cleaning to remove debris or hard water build up. Ensure the water inlet hose has been disconnected from the appliance. Remove the filter screen from the inlet valve and remove any debris or hard water build up. The filter screen can be rinsed under cold water to remove any build up. Ensure that the filter screen is replaced in the water inlet valve before reattaching the water inlet hose.
VINEGAR RINSE
A rinse of vinegar and water can be run through the washing machine to remove any stains on the inner tub or any lingering odors.
Place 1/2 cup of vinegar in the washing machine and choose the highest water level. Allow the appliance to run a full wash program with no laundry to remove stains and odors.
