Clear the water lines

4.Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overlghten. Damage to the valves can result.

5.Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

6.Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT (bottom) inlet valve. Attaching the red coupling first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overlghten. Damage to the valves can result.

1 Cold water inlet valve (blue)

2. Hot water inlet valve (red)

NOTE: The inlet valve may be on the right or the left side of the washer, depending on your model.

7.Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD water (top) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on

the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overlghten. Damage to the valves can result.

Check for leaks

8.Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small

amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this later.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.

If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

1.Drape the power cord over the console.

2.Remove any cardboard used to move washer,

3.Locate the remaining portion of shipping strap (not the end with the cotter pins) from Step 3 of "Remove Shipping Strap."

Remaining portion of Shipping Strap

4.Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the tie strap. Push fastener into the nearest hole in the shipping strap, illustration 1 or 2.)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose. See illustration 3.

Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and vibration.

Install the front leveling feet

1.Prop up the front of the washer about 4 in. (10.2 cm) with a wood block or similar object. The block needs to suppor[ the weight of the washer.

2.Screw the lock nut onto each foot to within 1 in. (2.5 cm) of the base.

(2.5 cm)

3.Screw the feet into the correct holes at the front corner of the washer until the nuts touch the washer.

NOTE: Do not tighten the nuts until the washer is level.

4.Tilt the washer back and remove the wood block. Gently lower the washer to the floor.

5.Slide to final location.

6.Tilt the washer forward until the rear of the washer is at least 4 in. (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-adjusting rear feet click into place. Lower the washer to the floor.

7.Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edges of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
