Make sure the “hook” end of drain
hose is in laundry tub or standpipe. Wrap the
plastic beaded strap around the drain hose
and laundry tub or standpipe. Thread beaded
end of strap through keyhole end. Pull until
strap is tight. Slide strap into narrow end of
keyhole to lock strap in place. See Figures A
and B.
If the water inlet faucets and standpipe are
recessed, tightly wrap the plastic beaded strap
around the drain hose and faucet body.
(Do Not wrap strap around the faucet handles
or stems.) Thread beaded end of strap through
keyhole end. Pull until strap is tight. Slide strap
into narrow end of keyhole to lock strap in
place. See Figure C.
Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub or
standpipe with the plastic strap. Failure to
properly secure drain hose could result in water
damage.
If drain hose cannot be strapped into place,
hose must be cut exactly to length so “hook”
end is held tightly over edge
of laundry tub or standpipe.
See Figure D.
If a longer drain hose is
needed, Drain Hose, Part No.
388423 and Hose
Connection Kit, Part No.
285442 are available from
your authorized parts
distributor. If drain hose must
be shortened, use Hose
Connection Kit, Part No. 285442.
Note: If washer/dryer is moved to adjust drain
hose, the washer/dryer must be leveled again.
Repeat Step 23. Place cardboard under the
washer/dryer and carefully move washer/dryer
to avoid damaging floor covering.

legs 1 inch off the floor so that the rear self-
leveling legs will adjust. Gently lower the
washer/dryer to the floor.

placing a carpenter’s level on top of the
washer, first side to side, then front to back.
— If it is not level, adjust the front legs up or
down.

back legs 1 inch off the floor so that the
rear self-leveling legs will adjust. Gently

If you have room to work from
either side of the washer/dryer, move
washer/dryer close to final position so you
can easily complete the following steps. Go
to Step 20.
If you are working in a closet or recessed
area, move the washer/dryer into its final
position and remove cardboard or
hardboard from under washer/dryer.
Remove the two foam shipping pieces.
Remove the access panel by removing two
Phillips-head screws, located at the top of
the access panel. Set panel and screws
aside. See Step 25, Panel G. Complete the
following steps through the access area.

Before
attaching water inlet
hoses, run water
through both
faucets into a
bucket. This will get rid of particles in water
lines that might clog hoses. Mark which is the
hot water faucet.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure. Inspect and
replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear,
or leaks are found. When replacing your inlet
hoses, mark the date of replacement on the
label with a permanent marker.

Attach bottom hose (inlet
marked “H”) to hot water faucet. Attach top
hose (inlet marked “C”) to cold water
faucet. Tighten the coupling to the faucet
by hand. Use pliers to make final two-thirds
turn.
Move washer/dryer close to its permanent
location. Remove cardboard/hardboard
from under washer/dryer.
