washer for support. Secure the lid with tape. Using two or more
people, tip the washer onto its back and place on cardboard
supports. Remove foam shipping base. Then, set washer back
upright, and remove the tape from the lid so that you can open
the lid and remove the foam packing ring from the washer tub.
NOTE: Keep foam packing ring in case you need to move
the washer in the future.

water leakage and damage to your floors. The drain hose is
connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.

Parts" to determine what you may need.
Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through
other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The
hose must extend 4.5" (114 mm) beyond the form.
