4.Slide the washer into position and check the levelness and stability of the washer. If necessary, slide the washer out of posi- tion to either raise or lower the leveling leg as required to level and stabilize the washer securely on all four legs. Slide the washer back into position to confirm lev- elness to the floor. When the washer is level, tighten the locking nuts up against the base of the washer. This will secure the leveling legs in place.

5.Install the rubber feet, found in the instal- lation package, on all four (4) legs (Figure 1-3).

6.Pull the drain hose vertically to the drain strap . Then route the drain hose through the drain hose strap on the back of the washer and snap into the plastic hook of the strap.

7.Install gooseneck end of drain hose into drain standpipe. Be sure the connection is not airtight between the drain hose and standpipe. Standpipe must be at least 24" high. 36" height is recommended.

8.Connect inlet hoses to water supply us- ing screen washers (found in the installa- tion package) at faucet connections, with the domed screen facing the faucet. At- tach hoses to the faucets and the water valve.

NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths, up to 10 feet.

GROUNDING POLARITY CHECKS

The receptacle used for all Maytag products operating on 120 Volts AC must be properly grounded and polarized.

The power cord should be equipped with a three (3) PRONG POLARIZED GROUNDING PLUG FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized receptacle.

CAUTION: Do not cut or remove the ground- ing prong from this plug.

It is the responsibility of the person installing the appliance to ensure it is adequately grounded and polarized at the point of instal- lation. Local conditions and requirements should be taken into consideration. In cases where only a two (2) prong receptacle is avail- able, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded and polarized three (3) prong recep- tacle (Figure 1-6).
