3. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.
4. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount
of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
LEVEL WASHER
IMPORTANT: Level washer properly to reduce excess noise
and vibration.
1. Move the washer to its final location. Place a level on top
edges of washer. Use side seam as a guide to check levelness
of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as shown. Rock
washer back and forth to make sure all four feet make solid
contact with floor.

2. Use a 9/16" or 14 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.
Recheck levelness of washer and 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.
