LQ Types of drainage hookups Standpipe GUDLQ SLSH FDEOHWLH Make sure that: ▯ There is no stopper in the sink drain. ▯ The end of the hose does not touch the discharge water. ▯ The sink drain is free flowing and not partially clogged. Attach the drain hose to the elbow included with your washer. Position the elbow on the drain hose 4" from end of hose as shown. Insert this section of the drain hose into the drain pipe. Secure the elbow and hose with a nylon tie strap or the equivalent to keep the hose from coming out of the drain pipe during use. Sink siphon Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin. NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water damage to rooms below in the event of a leak. Secure the drain hose to the sink siphon using a Ø 0.9 1.6 in. (20-44 mm) hose clip (available from a hardware store). Wash Basin 9 WARNING SCALDING When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when pumping out hot suds into a wash basin. Do not reach into the hot suds. NOTICE: APPLIANCE DAMAGE/DAMAGE TO TEXTILES If the end of the drain hose touches the discharge water (water drained from washer) it (the discharge water) can be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the appliance or textiles. Leveling the washer Importance of leveling the washer Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer. Follow these steps: 1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room. 2. If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer. 3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary. 4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear. 5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn't "wobble". There should be no "give" or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration. 6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut). 15
