Route the Drain Hose
Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer.
2.After the washer is level, use a 17 mm
All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
3.Slide the washer to its final location.
4.Confirm the levelness of the washer.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
■Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
■Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under “Alternate Parts.”)
Secure the Drain Hose
1.Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2.Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the beaded strap provided. (See illustrations 1 and 2.)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed (see illustration 3), put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose.
Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and vibration.
1.Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the front with a wood block (2" x 4") and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.
Complete Installation
1.Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method. (See “Electrical Requirements.”)
2.Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
3.Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
4.Dispose/recycle all packaging materials.
5.Check to be sure the water faucets are on.
6.Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.
