11. Connect the cold water hose assembly to the cold water valve spud, using another hose washer.NOTE: The cold water hose has No. 16 B & S gauge stranded copper wire molded into the rubber and securely crimped to the metal ends of the hose assembly to provide a grounding circuit for the washer.

12. Connect the drain hose to the drain spud which is the lowest fitting on the rear of the cabinet. NOTE: When connecting each of the above pieces of hose, be certain that the hose elbow is pointing in the general direction that the hose is to run. This avoids the necessity for a sharp bend in the hose and the possibility of it becoming kinked.

13. Set the washer upright, place the ends of the hose in the tub, remove the protective band, and position the washer at its point of use.

14. Attach the hot and cold water hose to the appropriate water faucets, turn on the faucets and test for leaks. Detach the hose from the faucets and replace the ends in the tub.

15. The washer is not designed to be bolted down. However, "set-in" hexagonal foot cups are provided for two of the washer feet and must be used on sloping floors or whenever the washer is built in.

a. The position of these cups can be determined by placing the washer in the desired location and pencil marking around the two lowest feet. The washer can be installed flush to the wall by measuring 23-3/8" from center to center of the feet on a line 2-1/2" from and parallel to the back wall.

b. Remove the washer from its location and drill two holes (lowest points) in the floor, using 1/2" holes and expansion plugs in concrete or 1/4" holes in wood.

c. Screw the foot cups into these holes.

d. For open installations on linoleum or tile floors, footpads, Piece No. 5873579 (four required.)

16. Replace the machine compartment access panel, position the washer feet in the foot cups and adjust the feet and locking nuts until the washer is firm and level. Be sure all the lock- nuts are tight against the corner gussets.

17. Again connect the water hoses to the appropriate faucets. Hook the "gooseneck" of the drain hose over the edge of the laundry tray or detach the gooseneck and position the hose in a suitable drain.

18. Plug the extension cord into the supply receptacle, open the hot and cold water faucets and check for proper fill and water temperature at the washer inlet.

Best washing results can be obtained from water at 130\xB0F or above. If the hot water is below this temperature, proper adjustment of the water heater thermostat should be made. In most instances, the local public utility will make this adjustment with out charge if the heater is of the automatic type. Otherwise, advise the customer that corrective measures should be taken. If the flowing pressure is less than 10 psi, have the master plumber responsible for the plumbing, check the installation and apply the necessarycorrections.
