4.Turn on the water taps completely and check for leaks.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

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

Route the Drain Hose

5. If the washer taps and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as shown. See illustration C.

NOTES:

■ Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.

■ To avoid siphoning, do not seal the 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.

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, 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.”

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 all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Check that the washer is level (use a level).

3.After the washer is level, use a 9/16" 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.

4.The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or diagonally when pushed on its top edges.

5.Slide the washer to its final location.

6.Confirm the levelness of the washer.
