12. Secure drain hose 14. Rock washer to test foot contact Secure drain hose to laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet hoses for wall standpipe with cable tie or beaded tie strap. It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the drain hose in to the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that will avoid the drain hose coming out of or leaking from the plumbing/drain. Level Washer IMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise and vibration. 13. Check levelness of washer 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 15 and adjust leveling feet. If all four feet are in firm contact with floor, go to step 16. 15. Adjust leveling feet 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 15 and 16, repeating as necessary. If washer is not level, use a 9/16" (14.3 mm) open-end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer or counterclockwise to raise the washer. Do not exceed 2" (50 mm) from bottom of foot to bottom of cabinet. Recheck levelness of washer and that all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed. HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of washer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of washer. 16. Tighten leveling feet When washer is level and all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor, use a 9/16" (14.3 mm) open-end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts counterclockwise on leveling feet tightly against washer cabinet. HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop washer again with a wooden block. 15
