Route the Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

Remove drain hose from washer cabinet

Gently pull the corrugated drain hose from the shipping clips.

Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.

AB

A. Snap either end of the drain hose form to the drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins.

B. Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.

To keep 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.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and 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 A and B.)

ABC

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed (see illustration C), 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 avoids 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 and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.

2.Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Then check that the appliance is perfectly level (use a level).

3.After the washer is level, use a 17 mm open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.

IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

When you are pushing on the edges of the washing machine top plate, the machine should not move front to back, side to side, or diagonally.

4.Slide the washer to its final location.

5.Confirm the levelness of the washer.
