Connect inlet hoses to washer
Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling
by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an
additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.
Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
NOTE:
To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every
5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for
future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
■
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

1.
Move washer to final location
Move the washer to its final location. 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 washer.
If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may
be needed to level the washer on your floor.
2.
Adjust front leveling foot
For washers 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
/
turns.
