Install Leveling Legs
To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the 
shipping carton. Gently place the washer/dryer on its side, on the 
cardboard.
Install the rear leveling legs
1. Push legs into holes in rear corners until they snap into place.
2. Check adjustability of rear legs by pushing in one leg. The 
other leg should come out. Check both legs. If they do not 
move freely, repeat Step 1.
Install the front leveling legs
1. Examine the front leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
2. Screw front legs by hand, into the holes in the triangular 
braces in the front corners. Use wrench to finish turning the 
legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.
3. Slowly stand the washer/dryer upright.
For mobile home use
Washer/dryers with gas dryers must be securely fastened to the 
floor.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit. 
See “Tools and Parts” section for ordering information.
Remove Foam Packing
1. Open the washer lid. The latch under the dryer will keep the lid 
open. 
2. Pull the foam packing ring out of the washer.
NOTE: Keep the foam ring and use it when transporting your 
washer/dryer. This packing material is used to keep the washer 
tub stable during transport.
Connect Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from 
damage due to water leakage. To prevent the drain hose from 
coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the 
following instructions:
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must 
be followed exactly.
1. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.
2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap 
water. 
IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.
3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to 
open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose 
¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.
4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto 
drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until 
hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.
5. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.
