10.Slide washer/dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving across floor. If you have room to work from either side of the washer/dryer, move washer/dryer close to final position so you can easily complete the following steps. (Go to Step 11.)

If you are working in a closet or recessed area, move the washer/dryer into its final position and remove cardboard or hardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by removing three Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at the top of the access panel. Set panel, screws and bumper aside. (See Step 19.) Complete the following steps through the access area.

11.Put “hook” end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Check for proper length of drain hose.

DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF DRAIN HOSE DOWN THE STANDPIPE. THIS COULD CAUSE SIPHONING.

which is the hot water faucet.

Insert corner posts 6 inches from left leg. Do Not insert corner posts in the center of the washer/dryer.

16.If it is not level, carefully tilt washer/dryer backward until front of washer/dryer is 3-4 inches off of floor. Insert 4 corner posts under washer/dryer about 6 inches from the left leg. Loosen nuts on each front leg. Adjust the front legs up or down. Tilt washer/dryer backward and remove corner posts. Gently lower the washer/dryer to the floor. Repeat Step 15. If it is still not level, repeat Step 16 and then Step 15 until washer/dryer is level.

1.Wet the inside end of the drain hose with tap water. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LUBRICANT.

2.Squeeze ears of clamp with pliers to open and place clamp over the end of the drain hose.

3.While holding clamp open, work end of drain hose onto drain connector.

4.Position clamp over the drain hose area marked “clamp.” Release clamp. Clamp should be 1/4 inch from end of drain hose.

8.Standpipe or laundry tub drain system: Open clamp and slide over “hook” end of drain hose to secure the rigid and corrugated sections together.

9.In a 24-inch-wide area that will be behind the washer/dryer, securely mount the 24-inch-long, 1-inch x 4-inch board across two wall studs or on a concrete wall so that it is 28 inches minimum above the floor and no more than 41 inches above the floor. Attach the cable bracket to the 1-inch x 4-inch board with four screws. (See Panel F.)

13.Attach bottom hose (inlet marked “H”) to hot water faucet. Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to cold water faucet. Tighten the coupling to the faucet by hand. Use pliers to make final two-thirds turn.

15.Tilt washer/dryer forward raising back legs 1 inch off of floor to adjust rear, self-leveling legs. Gently lower washer/dryer to floor. Check levelness of the washer/dryer by placing a carpenter’s level on top of the washer, first side to side; then front to back.
