not force excess drain hose into standpipe.
Hose should be secure, but loose enough

pipe are recessed, put the hooked end of
the drain hose in the standpipe. See il-
lustration C.
NOTES:
• Do not force excess drain hose back into
the rear of the washer.
• To prevent siphoning, do not seal the drain
hose into the standpipe.

LEVEL THE WASHER

One foot has been installed at a different
height on your new washer. The other three
feet were preset at the factory. Properly level-
ing your washer will minimize excessive noise
and vibration.
1. Push on the upper front panel to be sure
that the washer is on the rear feet. Low-
er the right front foot until it contacts the
floor. 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.
First prop the front with a wood block and
adjust the feet as necessary; then prop
the back and adjust feet as necessary.
Repeat this step until washer is level.
2. Make sure that all four feet are stable and

resting on the floor. Then check that the
appliance is perfectly level (use a level).
3. After the washer is level, use a 17 mm
open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the
feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tight-
ened. If the nuts are not tight against the
washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
4. When you are pushing on the edges of
the washing machine top plate, the ma-
chine should not move front to back, side
to side, or diagonally.
5. Slide the washer to its final location.
6. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
