Installation Before You Start NOTE: An 8 in. (20.32 cm) coin drawer is required for coin operated models. Tools For most installations, the basic tools you will need are: 1 2 3 4 NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up. NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows room for attaching exhaust duct.
Installation Installing the Washer Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation Area Move washer so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the desired area of installation. NOTE: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install washer 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 washer on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures.
Installation Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve. NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or renovated building, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during construction. Connecting Hoses IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use.
Installation Risers Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (refer to Figure 5). 1 Step 3: (Non-Gravity Drain Models Only) Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear of the washer by removing the shipping tape. IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of handling a minimum of 1-3/8 inch (3.
Installation Standpipe Installation Step 4: (Gravity Drain Models Only) Connect Drain Outlet to Drain System Place the drain hose into the standpipe. Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure 7. This will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain receptacle during use. Remove drain fitting (four inches long) and hose clamp from accessories bag.
Installation Step 5: Position and Level the Washer WARNING Washers elevated above floor level must be anchored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The material used to elevate the washer should also be anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will not walk or that the washer can not be physically pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Failure to do so may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.
Installation Step 6: Remove the Shock Sleeves and Shipping Brace Remove front access panel by removing the two screws at the bottom of the panel. Step 7: Wipe Out Inside of Wash Drum Before using washer for the first time, use an all-purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside wash drum. Remove the five bolts and lockwashers from shipping brace with 9/16 in. wrench and remove brace. Refer to Figure 10.
