Install Leveling Legs
Install the front leveling feet
1. Prop up the front of the washer/dryer about 4" (10.2 cm) with
a wood block or similar object. The block needs to support
the weight of the washer/dryer.
2. Screw the locknut onto each foot to within 1" (2.5 cm) of the
base.
3. Screw the feet into the correct holes at the front corner of the
washer/dryer until the nuts touch the washer.
NOTE: Do not tighten the nuts until the washer/dryer is level.
4. Tilt the washer/dryer back and remove the wood block. Gently
lower the washer/dryer to the floor.
For mobile home use
Washer/dryers with gas dryers must be securely fastened to the
floor.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit.
See “Tools and Parts” section for ordering information.
Connect the Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. To prevent the drain hose from
coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the
following instructions:
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must
be followed exactly.
1. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.
2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap
water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.
3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to
open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose
¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.
4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto
drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until
hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.
5. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.
For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems
1. Open the yellow single-wire clamp and slide over the hooked
end of the drain hose to secure the rubber and corrugated
sections together.
2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
■
Do not straighten hooked end of the drain hose and 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.
For use with floor drain
Remove the drain hose hook from the corrugated drain hose. You
may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Alternate
Parts.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1. Insert a new flat washer (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
