Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any shipping bolts or restraints. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your dealer.
Location Requirements
Ensure the installation area has proper ventilation, a grounded electrical outlet, and appropriate water and gas connections. The floor must be level and capable of supporting the appliance's weight (approximately 417 pounds).
Leveling the Appliance
The appliance must be level to operate correctly and prevent excessive vibration. Use a level and adjust the leveling legs located at the bottom corners of the unit. Turn the legs clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower. Ensure all four legs are firmly on the floor.
Connections
- Electrical: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. Refer to local codes for specific requirements.
- Water: Connect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the corresponding valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Gas: Gas connection must be performed by a qualified installer in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Ensure all gas connections are leak-tested before use.
- Drain: Securely attach the drain hose to a standpipe or laundry tub, ensuring it is properly vented to prevent siphoning.
