Installation Installing the Washer Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation Area Move washer so that it is within 1.2 meters (4 feet) of the desired area of installation. NOTE: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install washer on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures.
Installation Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve. NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or renovated building, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during construction. Connecting Hoses IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use.
Installation Risers Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (refer to Figure 6). 1 1 2 FLW1982N W005I W005I 1 2 1 Shipping Tape Risers (Air Cushions) Water Supply Faucets Figure 6 Step 3: Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear of the washer by removing the shipping tape.
Installation Step 4: Position and Level the Washer WARNING Washers elevated above floor level must be anchored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The material used to elevate the washer should also be anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will not walk or that the washer can not be physically pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Failure to do so may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.
Installation Step 5: Remove the Shock Sleeves and Shipping Brace Remove front access panel by removing the two screws at the bottom of the panel. Step 6: Wipe Out Inside of Wash Drum Before using washer for the first time, use an all-purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside wash drum.

Maintenance User-Maintenance Instructions Replacing Hoses Lubrication 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 subjected to. All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary. Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes noise, replace the hinge.
