at the point where the corrugation begins.

e form and snap into place.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose
enough to provide a gap for air.
■ Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools
and Parts.”

the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as shown.
See illustration C.
NOTES:
■ Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the
washer.
■ To avoid siphoning, do not seal the drain hose into the
standpipe.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the
levelness of the washer by placing a level on the
top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the
front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary;
then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this
step until washer is level.
