• The end of the drain hose should be located a
minimum of 29.5 inches (75 cm) and a
maximum of 96 inches (244 cm) above the
bottom of the washer.
• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose
no higher than 66 inches (168 cm) above the
bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is
raised beyond 66 inches (168 cm), the drain
function will be increasingly affected.
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose
and the drain with tape or other means. If no air
gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the
tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or
clothing damage.

Leveling the Washer

The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To
minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.
CAUTION
• Using the washer without leveling it may cause
excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer
malfunction.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the washer to
vibrate.
