Installation site Horizontal access washers should be installed on the ground floor or base - ment of the construction for best re - sults. A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for the washer . Concrete floors are less pr one to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors.
Installation beneath a counter If a countertop is placed over the washer , at least a 1 / 4 " gap must be left between the top of the machine and bottom of the countertop; and nothing should be within 1 / 2 " of any other side of the washing machine.
Installation – Lift the machine from its shipping pallet and move it to the installation site. – Do not lift the washer by the drum door . – Ensure that the machine’ s feet and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle. Remove the shipping struts ^ T urn the left shipping strut counter- clockwise 90°.
^ Withdraw the two struts together with the support plate. ^ Plug the two holes with the plastic caps provided. , Movement of the washer without the shipping struts in place should be kept to a minimum. The struts must be reinstalled befor e the ma - chine is moved.
Level the washer T o ensure smooth operation the washer must be level. Failure to level the machine can r esult in increased water and energy con- sumption as well as the washer "bang- ing" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.
W ater connection Connect the cold water intake hose (blue mark) to the cold water valve and the hot water intake hose (red mark) to the hot water valve.
The washing machine can be con - nected to a potable water supply . A non-return valve is not requir ed unless requir ed by building code. The washing machine has 1 / 2 " pressur e hoses with 3 / 4 " female hose thread con - nections. If there is no water hookup contact a plumber to install a connection.
Connection to the drain system The 5 ft. drain hose may be connected as follows: 1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet.) 2. T o a stand pipe: place the drain hose into a 1 1 / 2 " stand pipe and firmly secure it.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or break - down, grounding will r educe the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric cur - rent. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-gr ound - ing conductor and a grounding plug.
