Leveling your washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1 For free standing installation and with the washer
within 4 feet (1 m) of its fi nal location, place a level
on top of the washer.
2 Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so
the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side,
and stable corner-to-corner.
3 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel
for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate
leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the fl oor on
ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a
minimum for best performance of the washer.
1 Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
fl ush the water lines and remove particles that might
clog the water valve screens and to determine which
faucet is hot and which is cold supply.
2 Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the
plastic bag located in the drum of the washer and install
the rubber washers in each end of the inlet hoses.
Connecting inlet water
3 Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet
connection on the washer and the COLD inlet hose to
the COLD inlet connection on the washer. Tighten by
hand until snug. Then tighten each supply connection
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread
or over-tighten these connections.
4 Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water
supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD water
supply. Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten
each supply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not bend, kink or pinch water inlet hoses.
