The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Remove Shipping Strap
To avoid floor damage, set washer/dryer onto cardboard before
moving across floor. Move washer/dryer close to its final location.
1. Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow strap firmly, until
completely removed from washer/dryer. There should be
2 cotter pins on the end of the shipping strap. Remove the
hang tag and pin from the vent pipe.
2. Tilt the washer/dryer forward. Move each of the 2 rear legs in
an up-down motion to check the self-adjusting leveling legs
for free movement. This is required for proper leveling. Gently
lower the washer/dryer to the floor.
3. Cut the shipping strap about 16" (406 mm) from the plug end.
Look for the words “CUT HERE.” Discard end with cotter pins.
You will use the remaining piece of shipping strap to secure
the drain hose.
Install Leveling Legs
Install the front leveling feet
1. Prop up the front of the washer/dryer about 4" (102 mm) 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" (25 mm) 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.
Connect the Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. To keep 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.
