To keep 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.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and
Parts.”
Secure the Drain 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.)
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 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.
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 washer is perfectly level (use a level).
3. After the washer is level, use a 17 mm open-end wrench to
turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabi net.
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.
Complete Installation
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding
method. See “Electrical Requirements.”
2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
3. Check that you have all of your tools.
4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
5. Check that the water faucets are on.
6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.
7. Plug into a grounded 3prong outlet.
8. Read “Washer Use.”
9. To test and clean your machine, make sure there are no
clothes in the washer and add one AFFRESH™ tablet to the
washer drum. Select Power, the Clean Washer cycle and then
select START. This cycle will take approximately 50minutes
to complete. Allow the washer to complete the entire cycle
without interruption.
