GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST
be plugged into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes. If in doubt, call
a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the
power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it
is the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with
a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucet MUST be installed within 42" (107 cm) of your
washer’s water inlet. The faucet MUST be 3/4" (1.9 cm) garden hose-type
so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and
120psi. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.

NOTE: If you must transport the washer at a later date, you must reinstall
the shipping support hardware to prevent shipping damage. Keep the
hardware in the plastic bag provided.
INSTALLING THE WASHER
1. Run some water from the cold faucet to flush the water lines and
remove particles that might clog up the inlet hose.
2. Ensure there is a rubber washer in the hoses. Reinstall the rubber
washer into the hose fitting if it has fallen out during shipment.
Carefully connect the inlet hose marked HOT to the rear “H” inlet of the
water valve. Tighten by hand;then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
And COLD to the rear “C” inlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand;
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not crossthread or over-tighten these connections.
3. Install the screen washers by inserting them into the free ends of the
inlet hoses with protruded side facing the faucet.
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 ensuring inlet hoses do not become kinked. 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 solid. Turn the locknuts on each leg up towards 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.

leveling legs.
7. Attach the U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain hose. Place
the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with the cable tie
provided in the enclosure package.
NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain pipe can cause a
siphoning action. No more than 7 inch (17.78 cm) of hose should be in the
drain pipe. There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug fit can
also 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.

CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER
Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for
small articles to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost
items so they are not dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out
the pump filter.
1. Using a coin or flat screwdriver in the notch on the door, open the
access door.
2. Place a shallow pan or dish under the pump access door and towels on
the floor in front of the washer to protect the floor. It is normal to catch
about a cup of water when the filter is removed.
3. Pull down the pour spout.
