To avoid damaging oor, place cardboard supports from shipping carton on oor behind washer. Tip washer back and place on cardboard supports. Remove shipping base by rotating base 90° to the right. Set washer upright. IMPORTANT: Removing shipping base is necessary for proper operation. If your washer includes a sound shield, please refer to the instructions included with the sound shield to install it at this time. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

2. Remove shipping base5

Remove tape from washer lid, open lid and remove cardboard packing tray from tub. Be sure to remove all parts from tray. NOTE: Keep tray in case you need to move washer later. Firmly grasp power cord plug and pull to free from rear panel. Gently place power cord over console to allow free access to back of washer.

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub. IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.

4.5"(114 mm)Drainhose form If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, slide it over end as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide black elbow end of drain hose onto black drain port and secure with clamp. For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6. For a oor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form as shown in Step 7. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts”.

5. Attach drain hose to drain port6

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear. Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve. IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with at washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water owing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided). Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. For oor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts”.
