ROUTE THE DRAIN HOSE
The drain hose is connected to your washer.
Proper routing of the drain hose protects your
floors from damage due to water leakage.
Carefully read and follow these instructions.
To prevent drain water from going back into
the washer:
• Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not
force excess drain hose into the standpipe.
The hose should be secure, but loose enough
to provide a gap for air.
• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the
laundry tub.
SECURE THE DRAIN HOSE
1.
Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2.
Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub
leg, or to the standpipe with the beaded
strap that is provided.

1
If the washer faucets and the drain
standpipe are recessed, place the hooked
end of the drain hose in the standpipe.
Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the
water inlet and drain hoses.
NOTE: Do not force excess drain hose into the
standpipe.
LEVEL THE WASHER
Properly leveling your washer prevents exces-
sive noise and vibration. To level the washer:
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 5/8" (17
mm) open-end 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.
COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
1.
Check the electrical requirements. Be sure
that you have the correct electrical supply
and the recommended grounding method
3
(see "Electrical Requirements").
2.
Check to be sure all parts are now in-
stalled. If there is an extra part, go back
through the steps to see which step was
skipped.
3.
Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
4.
Dispose/recycle all packaging materials.
5.
Check to be sure the water faucets are on.
6.
Check for leaks around faucets and inlet
hoses.
7.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
