Beaded tie strap

4.Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the tie strap. (See illustrations A and B.)

ABC

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 C.)

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

Level Washer

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.

2.If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the washer is not level, prop up the front of the washer with the wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.

3.After the washer is in the final location and level, use a ⁹⁄₁₆" (14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.

IMPORTANT: If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

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

CompleteInstallation
