at the point where the corrugation begins.

form and snap into place.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not straighten the drain hose, do not force excess drain
hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose
enough to provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools
and Parts.”

NOTES:
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the
washer.
To avoid siphoning, do not seal the drain hose into the
standpipe.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the
washer by placing a level on the
top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the
front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary;
then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this
step until washer is level.
2. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor.
Ch
eck that the washer is level (use a level).
3. Aft
er the washer is level, use a 9/16" open-end wrench to turn
the nuts on the
feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tight
ened. If the nuts are
not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
4. The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or
diagonally when pushed on its top edges.
5. Slide the washer to its final location.
6. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
