Secure the Drain Hose
1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2. Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with
the beaded strap provided. (See illustrations 1 and 2.)
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed
(see illustration 3), put the hooked end of the drain hose in the
standpipe. Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the water
inlet hoses and the drain hose.
Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and
vibration.
1. 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 wood block (2" x 4") and adjust the feet as
necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary.
Repeat this step until washer is level.
2. After the washer is level, use a ⁵⁄₈ in. (17 mm) open-end
wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer
cabinet.
All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against
the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
3. Slide the washer to its final location.
4. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
Complete Installation
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding
method. (See “Electrical Requirements.”)
2. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an
extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was
skipped.
3. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.
4. Dispose/recycle all packaging materials.
5. Check to be sure the water faucets are on.
6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.
7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
8. Read “Washer Use.”
9. To test and to clean your washer, measure ¹⁄₂ the normal
recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency
(HE) detergent or ¼ the normal recommended amount of
regular powdered or liquid detergent. Pour the detergent into
the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL/CASUAL, and then
select HOLD TO START. Allow the washer to complete one
whole cycle.
