Stack two corner posts (A) on top of each other. Tilt washer
backwards and slide corner posts under washer 7.6 cm
(3 inches) from each side of washer as shown.
Securing drain hose
about 41 cm
(16")
Note: Use shipping strap to secure drain hose.
Water pressure could cause drain hose to come out
of standpipe or laundry tub if drain hose is not
secured.
After shipping strap has been removed from washer, look for
the words "cut here" marked on the shipping strap, about
41 cm (16 inches) from the plug end. Cut the shipping strap
at this mark (A).

If drain hose does not fit into
standpipe or is being placed
over the edge of a laundry
tub, open other drain
hose clamp with pliers and place
G
clamp over rubber end of
drain hose (G).
Insert end of hose extension (H)
into rubber end of drain hose up
H
to stops on the sides of hose
extension. Secure with clamp.
Put "hook" end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Check
for proper length of drain hose.
To prevent drain water from going back into washer:
• Do Not straighten "hook" end of drain and force excess drain
hose into standpipe.
• Do Not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.
Run water through both faucets into
a bucket to get rid of particles in the
water lines that might clog hoses.
Mark the hot water faucet.

Attach bottom hose with adapter from the inlet marked "H" to hot
water faucet (E). Attach top hose with adapter from the inlet
marked "C" to cold water faucet (F).
Tighten couplings to faucets by hand; then use pliers to make final
two-thirds turn.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN; this could cause damage to couplings.
Tilt washer forward, raising back legs 2.5 cm (1 inch) off of floor
to adjust rear self-leveling legs. Drop washer to floor. Check
levelness of the washer by placing a carpenter's level on top of the
washer, first side to side; then front to back.
If washer is not level, adjust
the front legs (E) up or
down. Repeat above step.
When washer is level,
use wrench to turn nuts
on front legs up tightly
against washer base. If
E
nuts are not tight against
washer base, the washer
may vibrate.
If the water inlet faucets and drain
E
standpipe are recessed, put "hook"
end of drain hose (E) in standpipe.
Tightly wrap the shipping strap (F)
around the drain hose and faucet
body (not the handle or stem).
Push plug into the nearest hole in
the shipping strap.

Note: If washer is moved to adjust drain hose, the washer
must be leveled again. Repeat leveling steps, see "Leveling
washer", Panel C. Place cardboard under the washer and
carefully move washer to avoid damaging floor covering.
If a longer drain hose
is needed, drain hose
extension kit (Part No.
285702) is available
from authorized parts
distributors. If drain
hose must be
shortened, use hose
kit (Part No. 285442).
