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 later.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future
reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear
or leaks are found.
Leveling 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 of the washer, first side-to-side, then front-to-back.
If the washer is not level, prop up the front of the washer and
adjust the feet up or down as necessary. If the washer is
against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping
back. Repeat this step until the washer is level.
2. After the washer is in the final location and level, use a 9/16 in.
open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against
the washer cabinet.
If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the
washer can vibrate.
3. Tilt the washer back and remove the wooden block. Gently
lower the washer to the floor.
4. Move the washer to its final location.
5. Tilt the washer forward until the rear of the washer is at least
4 in. (10.0 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-adjusting
rear feet click into place. Lower the washer to the floor.
Installation Checklist
1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the
correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding.
(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. Keep the styrofoam
block for repackaging washer for transportation.
5. Check to be sure the water faucets are on.
6. Plug the power supply cord into a grounded outlet.
7. Remove the protective film on the console and any tape
remaining on the washer.
8. Read “Using Your Washer.”
9. Measure ½ the normal recommended amount of powdered
or liquid detergent and pour it into the detergent dispenser.
Close the lid. Press HEAVY DUTY, and then press START.
Allow it to complete one whole cycle.
Securing the Drain Hose
1. Remove the power cord from the rear panel of the washer
and drape the cord over the console.
2. Move the washer to its final location and remove any
cardboard used to move washer.
3. Locate the tie strap (supplied).
4. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with
the tie strap. See illustration.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed,
put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly
wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain
hose.
5. Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the
washer.
