INSTALLATION

Leveling the Washer

Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1. For free standing installation and with the washer in
it's final position, place a level on top of the washer.
Adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-
to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel
for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate
leg so the washer is SOLID on the floor on ALL four
legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum
for best performance of the washer.
2. For pedestal installations, See additional installation
instructions included with the pedestal.
Washer Connections
1. Run some water from the hot and
cold faucets to flush the waterlines
and remove particles that might
clog up the water valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses and
rubber washers from the
plastic bag located in the
drum of the washer and
install the rubber washers in
each end of the inlet hoses.
3. Carefully connect the inlet hose marked "HOT" to the
outside "H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand,
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully
connect the other inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of
the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another
2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread or over-
tighten these connections.
4. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD
water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another
2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for
leaks.
NOTE: Use only new hoses.
5. Place the hook end of the drain hose in the drain
opening. Secure the drain hose with the cable tie
(provided in the enclosure package) to the standpipe,
inlet hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not
pull out from the force of the water.
