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 machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified
technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses.
Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

A. Coupling
B. Washer
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure washer drum is empty and flat washers have been placed
into hose couplings. Both hoses must be used for the washer to
work properly.
1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling or water faucet
can result. Both faucets must be turned on for the washer to work
properly.
Clear the 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.
■ Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold
water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
