Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise  

and vibration.

Remove cardboard from beneath washer. Place a level on top 

edges of washer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip 

washer and adjust feet up or down as shown in steps 18 and 

19, repeating as necessary.

Grip washer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all 

four feet are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking washer from side 

to side. If washer rocks, go to step 18 and adjust leveling feet. 

If all four feet are in firm contact with floor, go to Step 19.

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tap 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.

wear, or leaks are found.

amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
