. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the
valve. Damage to the valves can result.
5. Attach the cold water hose to the inlet valve labeled cold.

7. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two-
thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the
valve. Damage to the valves can result.
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 5years 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.
Level the Washer
Properly level your washer to avoid excessive noise and vibration.
1. Move the washer to its final location.
2. Rock the washer back and forth to check whether all four feet
are stable and in firm contact with the floor. If the washer rocks,
your model may be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the right front foot to level
the machine. If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor
adjustments may be needed to level the washer on your floor.
3. For machines with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right
front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot
up to an additional 1 ½ turns.
