CABINET DIMENSIONS
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommended height of standpipe is 36”. If
the standpipe is less than 36” high, the drain
hose should be routed through the clip to raise
the hose to the proper height. The standpipe
must be large enough to accept a 1 1/2”
outside diameter drain hose.
Without the 36” high elevation, water may
run out of the washer prematurely. A
possible sign that the drain hose has not been
elevated to proper height is if the washer fills
and drains at the same time.
The drain hose is attached at factory. (See
Installation Accessory Kits table.)
WATER SAVER MODELS
The diverter valve is located in the lower left-
hand corner on the backside of the washer.
The suds hose (hose with long gooseneck)
connects to the top diverter valve outlet. The
other end of the hose is cut at an angle to
prevent sediment from returning to the washer.
Place suds hose into a 21 gallon minimum
capacity storage tank. This hose must be in a
straight line to the storage tank and be able to
reach the bottom of the tank. Secure the hose
to the tank to prevent the hose from coming
out.
The drain hose is connected to the bottom
diverter valve outlet. The other end goes into
the standpipe. If the standpipe is less than 36”
high, the drain hose should be routed through
the clip to raise the hose to the proper height.
If the drain hose needs to be extended to
reach the drain facility, attach the extension
hose section to the siphon break using a
coupler.
FLOORING
For best performance the washer must be
installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood
floors may need to be reinforced to minimize
vibration and/or unbalanced load situations.
Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are also
contributing factors in vibration and/or
tendency for a washer to move slightly during
spin cycle. Never install washer on a platform
or weak supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the washer never be
installed in areas where water may freeze,
since the washer will always maintain some
water in the water valve, pump and hose
areas. This can cause damage to belts, pump,
hoses and other components. Operating
temperature should be above 60°F.
COLD WEATHER STORAGE
The following precautions should be taken if a
washer is to be stored where it would be
subject to freezing conditions.
1. Turn off the water supply, remove and drain
inlet hoses.
2. Select a fill cycle and energize the water
valve by selecting a warm water setting. A
few seconds of fill is sufficient.
3. Disconnect from electrical supply.
4. Use flat blade screwdriver to release two
clips at bottom corners of front panel.
Remove front panel.
5. Remove the hose clamps and drain the
water from the drain hose and pump by
lowering the drain hose to floor level.
Do not extend gooseneck end or cut goose-
neck end off. Be sure each section of hose is
securely pushed over the ends of the coupler
and should join at approximately the middle of
the coupler.
Now with the drain hose elevated 36”, it can
go into a floor drain or low standpipe.
