Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the flat

washer. Make sure the hose connection is tight.

Check for leaks

Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of

water might enter the washer. You will drain this later.

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

of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for

future reference.

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

wear, or leaks are found.

Secure Drain Hose

1. Drape the power cord over the console.

2. Move the washer to its final location and remove any

cardboard used to move washer.

3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as

shown. See illustrations A and B.

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.

NOTE:

■ Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the

washer.

■ To avoid siphoning, do not seal the drain hose into the

standpipe.

Level the Washer

Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and

vibration.

1. Drape the power cord over the console.

2. Move washer to its final location. Remove any cardboard

used to move washer.

3. Check that the washer is level.

■ Check side to side and back to front by lining up the level

as shown in the following illustration.

4. If the washer is not level, prop up the front of the washer with

the wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly

before tipping back. Repeat this step until washer is level.

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding

method. See “Electrical Requirements.”

2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

3. Check that you have all of your tools.

bolts, and spacers for use if the washer should be

transported.

and then press START. Allow it to complete one whole cycle.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
