Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small
amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this in
a later step.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates for future reference.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Properly level your washer to avoid excessive noise and vibration.
1. Move the washer to its final location.
2. Rock the washer back and forth to check whether all four feet
are stable and in firm contact with the floor. If the washer rocks,
your model may be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the right front foot to level
the machine. If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor
adjustments may be needed to level the washer on your floor.
3. For machines with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right
front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot
up to an additional 1 ½ turns.
