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 in
a later step.
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.
■ If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
Secure the Drain Hose
1. Drape the power cord over the console.
2. Remove any cardboard used to move washer.
3. Fasten the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or drain
standpipe with the beaded tie strap. See view A or B.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed,
put the formed end of the drain hose into the standpipe.
Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose. See view C.

new washer. The other three feet were preset at the factory.
Properly leveling your washer will minimize noise and vibration.
1. Slide the washer to its final location.
2. Push on upper front panel to be sure the washer is on its rear
