Connect the Inlet Hoses

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1. Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings

already attached to the washer.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can

result.

2. Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the hot water

faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

3. Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the cold water

faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-

thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can

result.

5. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement

dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.

Route the Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from

damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these

instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer.

To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:

Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess

drain hose into standpipe. 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.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under "Alternate

Parts.")

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.)

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 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 Installation

1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding

method. (See "Electrical Requirements.")

2. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. 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.
