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 “Tools and Parts.”
SecuretheDrain 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 theWasher
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 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. Then check that the appliance is perfectly level (use a level).
3.After the washer is level, use a 17 mm
IMPORTANT: All 4 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.
