CONNECTING THE HOSES TO

connections on the back of your washer.
Note: The water supply hose connected to the hot
water faucet must be connected to the hot water (H)
supply intake, and the supply hose connected to the
cold faucet must be connected to the cold (C) water
supply intake.

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
1Attach the drain hose guide (included) to the end of the
drain hose.
2Place the drain hose in a laundry tub, oor drain pipe,
wall or oor standpipe and secure with the nylon tie

Note: If placed in a standpipe, the end of the drain hose
should extend only 4 - 7 in. (10.2 - 17.8 cm) down the pipe.
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Note: Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
1Make sure that the power is turned o at the circuit
breaker/fuse box.
2Plug the power cord into a well-grounded, three-prong,
120V~60Hz approved electrical outlet, protected by a
16-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. Your washer
is grounded through the third prong of the power cord.
3Turn the power on.
LEVELING YOUR WASHER
1Press the four top corners of your washer. If your
washer moves when you press a corner, the leg for
that corner needs to be adjusted.
2Place a level on top of the washer.
3Loosen the lock nut on the bottom of your washer,
pull the leg down until it touches the oor, then
tighten the nut. Extend the feet only as much as is
necessary. If the feet are extended too much, your
washer may vibrate.
RUNNING A TEST CYCLE
1Wash a load of clothes on the Rinse & Spin cycle. Check
for leaks and make sure that the washer drains well on
the spin cycle.
2When the load is spinning at high speed, make sure that
the washer and leveling legs are stable. If necessary,
adjust the front leveling legs while the washer is in the
spin cycle until the washer is level.
