Leveling your washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1 With the washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its fi nal
location, use a carpenter’s level to level your
washer front-to-back and side-to-side. For front-
to-back leveling, place bottom edge of the level on
the seam between the top panel and side panel.
For side-to-side leveling place the bottom side of
the level fl ush to the side panel.
2 Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so
the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side,
and stable corner-to-corner.
3 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel
for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate
leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the fl oor on
ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a
minimum for best performance of the washer.
1 Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
fl ush the water lines and remove particles that might
clog the water valve screens and to determine which
faucet is hot and which is cold supply.
Connecting inlet water
2 Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet
connection on the washer and the COLD inlet hose to
the COLD inlet connection on the washer. Tighten by
hand until snug. Then tighten each supply connection
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread
or over-tighten these connections.
3 Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water
supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD water
supply. Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten
each supply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not bend, kink or pinch water inlet hoses.
