Outlet to Drain System
Maximum flow rate is 24 gallons/minute [90.8 liters/minute].
Flow rates will vary with load type.
1. Remove drain fitting (4 inches [102 mm] long) and hose
clamp from accessories bag. Insert drain fitting into drain out-
let hose. Clamp hose and fitting.
2. Connect the drain fitting to a vented drain system using a
flexible connection (obtain locally). Inside diameter of fitting
is 1.53 in. [39 mm] and outside diameter is 1.66 in. [42 mm].
3. The drain system must be vented to prevent an air lock or si-
phoning.
IMPORTANT: Increasing the drain hose length, in-
stalling elbows, or causing bends will decrease
drain flow rates and increase drain times, impairing
machine performance.

Position and Level the Washer

Washers elevated above floor level must be anch-
ored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The
material used to elevate the washer should also be
anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will
not walk or that the washer can not be physically
pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Fail-
ure to do so may result in conditions which can pro-
duce serious injury, death and/or property damage.
1. Position unit so it has sufficient clearance for installation and
servicing.
NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door
as a handle in the transportation of the washer may
cause damage to the dispenser or door.
NOTE: The openings in the base must not be ob-
structed by a carpet.
2. Place unit in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Instal-
ling the unit on any type of carpeting, soft tile or other weakly
supported structures is not recommended.
3. Place a level on the raised portion of cabinet top and check if
the unit is level from side to side and front to back.
