LEVEL WASHER
Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise
and vibration.
Remove cardboard from beneath washer. Place a level on top
edges of washer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip
washer and adjust feet up or down as shown in steps 18 and
19, repeating as necessary.

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling

additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tap or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
NOTE: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every
5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for
future reference.
n Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
