7.   With the washer in its final 
position, place a level on top 
of the washer (if the washer  
is installed under a counter, 
the washer should not be 
able to rock). Adjust the front 
leveling legs up or down to 
ensure the washer is resting 
solidly. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the 
base of the washer and snug with a wrench. 
 NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent 
excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are 
extended, the more the washer will vibrate.
   If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have 
to extend the rear leveling legs.
8.   Bend and place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe 
and secure it with the cable tie provided in the enclosure 
package.
 
 NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain pipe 
can cause a siphoning action. No more than 7 inches of hose 
should be in the drain pipe. There must be an air gap around 
the drain hose. A snug fit can cause a siphoning action.
