Run some water from the hot
and cold faucets to flush the
water lines and remove
particles that might clog up
the water valve screens.
Remove the inlet hoses and
rubber washers from the
plastic bag and install the
rubber washers in each end
of the inlet hoses.
(90" elbow end) Carefully
connect the inlet hose marked
"HOT" to the outside "H"outlet
of the water valve. Tighten by
hand, then tighten another
2/3 turn with pliers,
Carefully connect the other inlet hose to the inside
"C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then
tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not crossthread or over-tighten these
connections,
Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD
water faucets tighfiy by hand, then tighten another
2/3 turnwith pliers. Turn the water on and check for
leaks.
NOTE: Use only new hoses.
Carefully move the washer to its final location. Rollers
on the rear of the washer allow for easy movement in
undercounter installations. Gently lift up on the front of
the washer and slide back.
NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8" will engage the rear
legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer or door
to liftwasher.
With the washer in its final position, place a level on
top of the washer (if an undercounter installation, no
rocking of the washer should exist). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is
resting solid.Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards
the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to
prevent excessive vibration. The farther out
the legs are extended the more the washer
will vibrate.
The washer is designed to operate resting on its rear
rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged, the rear
leveling legs may have to be extended. For
undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment is
accessible through the front service panel.

could occur. There must be an air gap around
the drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause
a siphoning action.
