INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately
3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 transport bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system
during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts
are removed.
1. On the back of the washer, loosen the 4 transport bolts using a 13 mm wrench.
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt,
including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.
3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord
through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.
4. Cover the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To avoid
suspension and structural damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation by a
certified technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses

the hose couplings.

Clear water lines
„ Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket,
to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
