Secure the Drain Hose
Drain hose must be secured to stop the hose from moving when
water is pumped out. If the drain hose moves, water may end up
on the floor.
1.
Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2.
Move the washer to its final location.
3.
Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown.
See illustrations A and B.
NOTES:
■
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the
washer.
■
To avoid siphoning, do not seal or put more than 4½"
(114 mm) of the drain hose into drainpipe or standpipe.
4.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed,
put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as
shown. See illustration C.
Level the Washer
Proper foot to floor contact and leveling your washer avoids
excessive noise and vibration.
NOTE:
Installing washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or
surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
1.
Slide the washer to its final location.
2.
Check that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.
3.
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 wooden block and adjust the front feet height
moving the hexagonal plastic part as necessary. Repeat to
adjust back feet.
4.
Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Then
check that the washer is perfectly level (use a level). Repeat
steps 1-3 until washer is level.
5.
After the washer is level, and all four feet are in firm contact
with the floor, use a
9
/
16
" (14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the
locknuts on the feet, tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
All four locknuts on the feet must be tightened.
If the locknuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the
washer may vibrate.
6.
The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or
diagonally when pushed on its top edges.
7.
Confirm the levelness of the washer.
