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 appliance 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 cabinet.
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.
