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 1 and 2.)
1
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed
(see illustration 3), 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 prevents 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 (2" x 4") and adjust the feet as
necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary.
Repeat this step until washer is level.
2. After the washer is level, use a
wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer
cabinet.
All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against
the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
3. Slide the washer to its final location.
4. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
