Kenmore 131801800 - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLATION
1. Run some water from the hot
and cold faucets to flush the
water lines and remove
particles that might clog up
the water valve screens.
2. Connect the inlet hose ends
to the HOT and COLD water
faucets tightly by hand, then
tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers. Turn the water on and
check for leaks.
NOTE: Use only new hoses provided with this unit.
3. Carefully move the washer to its final location.
Rollers on the rear of the washer allow for easy
movement in undercounter installations. Gently lift
up on the front of the washer and slide back,
NOTE: Lifting up more than 1/8" will engage the
rear legs. Do not use the dispenser drawer
or door to lift washer.
4. With the washer in its final position, place a level
on top of the washer (if an undercounter installation,
no rocking of the washer should exist). Adjust the
front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer
is resting solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up
towards the base of the washer and snug with a
wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to
prevent excessive vibration. The farther out
the legs are extended the more the washer
will vibrate.
The washer is designed to operate resting on its
rear rollers. If the floor is not level or is damaged,
the rear leveling legs may have to be extended. For
undercounter installations, rear leg adjustment is
accessible through the front service panel.
5. Form a U shape on the end of the drain hose with
the hose pointed toward the drain. Place in a
laundry tub or standpipe and secure with the cable
tie provided in the enclosure package.
N0^: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning
action could occur. There must be an air
gap around the drain hose. A snug hose fit
can also cause a siphoning action.

provided with the washer. They contain valuable and
helpful information that will save you time and
money.

for water leaks and proper operation.
