Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub
Installation
Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a
detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to
remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.
Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and
Shipping Plug
Remove the shipping brace from under the lid.
The shipping plug will be released from the base of the
washer when removing the cardboard base from the
NOTE: Do not tilt washer to front or sides when
moving.
Save the shipping brace and plug. They must be
reinstalled whenever washer is moved or transported
to a new location. This will prevent damage to the
washer. Refer to the User’s Guide for instructions on
reinstalling the shipping materials.

WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used
for such a period and before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the
water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a
pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Use the red
color-coded hose for the hot water connection and the
blue color-coded hose for the cold water connection.
Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the
water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then,
using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to
Figure 6. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the
hot water faucet goes to the water mixing valve
marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from the
cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”.
accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

Water Supply
IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch
(19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT
USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them
until there are no leaks.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50o to 75o
Fahrenheit (10o to 24o Celsius). Recommended hot
water temperature is 140o to 150o Fahrenheit (60o to
66o Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold
water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon
water temperature and pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever
there will be an extended period of non-use.

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a
maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827
kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.
5
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per
square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill
time in the washer.
Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
material that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.

IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subject to.
Standpipe Installation:
Place the adapter into the standpipe.
The recommended height for the standpipe is
36 inches (91.44 cm). Standpipes higher than 4 feet
(122 cm) are not recommended.
All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.
Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and
place around standpipe and drain hose, approximately
12 inches (30 cm) down from the top of pipe 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.

If standpipe is lower than 36 inches (91.44 cm), you
must install No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit. Refer to
Figure 8. This kit is available (as optional equipment
at extra cost) through an authorized dealer or parts
distributor. Installation instructions are supplied with
the kit.
Laundry Tub Installation:
For this type of installation, the drain hose MUST be
secured to the stationary tub to prevent hose from
beaded strap (supplied in accessories bag) to secure
hose.
We recommend leaving the standpipe adapter on the
drain hose for this type of installation.

Step 5: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
1
Place washer in position on a clean, dry and
reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any
type of carpeting is not recommended.
For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with
(supplied in accessories bag) on all four leveling legs.
5
Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the washer
is level from side to side and front to back.
If washer is not level, tilt washer back to access the
front leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs
by screwing into or out of washer base.

Make sure that the washer does not rock. When washer
is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts securely
against bottom of washer base. If these locknuts are
not tight, washer will not remain stationary during
operation.

Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will
cause excessive vibration.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs
have been extended. Legs and base could become
damaged.
Verify that washer does not rock.

When plugging in the washer:
• DO NOT overload circuits.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
Step 6: Plug in the Washer
Washer requires 120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical supply
and comes equipped with a 3-Prong grounding plug.
Refer to serial plate for specific electrical
requirements.
• DO NOT operate both a washer and gas dryer on
the same circuit. Use separately fused 15 Amp
circuits.
The washer is designed to be operated on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit
protected by a 15 Amp fuse, equivalent fusetron or
circuit breaker.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
MUST conform with the latest edition of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, and such local regulations as might
apply. It is the customer’s responsibility
to have the wiring, fuses and circuit
breakers installed by a qualified
electrician to make sure adequate
electrical power is available to the washer.

Grounding Information
Step 7: Add Water to the Washer
The washer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current.
To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before
adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer
is run before any water is added, the pump seal may
overheat causing the pump to leak. Once installed, the
water retained in the drain system from the previous
cycle will provide sufficient cooling to prevent pump
seal damage.
The washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a 3-prong
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
NOTE: The agitator should not be removed except
for service. The washtub is designed to be self-
cleaning.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the washer is
properly grounded.
W216
Do not modify the plug provided with the washer - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the
polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading
qualified electrician should correct the problem.

WARNING
This unit is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be
