Manual

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the laundry center into its final position and remove
cardboard from under laundry center. Remove the access panel
by removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at
the top of the access panel. Set panel, screw, and bumper aside.
Complete hook-up of water hoses and (on gas models) the
flexible gas connector through the access area.
Check for leaks
9. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small
amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this
later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
1. Move the laundry center to its final location and remove any
cardboard used to move the laundry center.
2. Locate the remaining piece of shipping strap (see "Remove
Shipping Strap").

This laundry center can be converted to exhaust out the right or
left side. To convert the laundry center, use Side Exhaust Kit Part
Number 279823. If your laundry center was previously exhausted
from the right or left side, it can be converted to rear exhaust by
using standard offset connections. To cover the hole in the side
one of the following plugs can be added:
692790 (white)
3979370 (graphite)
3977784 (biscuit)
Follow the instructions in the kit to install.
Kits are available from your local Sears store or Sears Service
Center.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed,
put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly
wrap the shipping strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose (3 above). Push fastener into the nearest hole in
the shipping strap (see illustration above).
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the
laundry center.
