For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance is
equipped with a power supply cord
having 3-prong ground plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating
3-prong ground-type outlet, grounded
in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. See Figure 1. If a mating
outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

7.Before attaching water inlet

hoses, run water through both faucets
into a bucket. This will get rid of
particles in water lines that might clog
hoses. Mark which is the hot water
faucet.

8.Attach bottom hose (inlet

marked “H”) to hot water faucet.
Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to
cold water faucet. Tighten coupling
to faucet by hand; then use pliers to
make final two-thirds turn.

13 . Tilt washer forward raising

back legs 2.5 cm (1 inch) off of floor.
To adjust rear self-leveling legs, gently
lower washer to floor. Check levelness
of the washer by placing a
carpenter’s level on top of the
washer, first side to side; then front to
back.

9.Stack two corner posts on top of

each other. Tilt washer backwards
and insert corner posts 7.6 cm
(3 inches) in from one side of washer
as shown. Repeat with other corner
posts on other side of washer.

Use new hoses and washers that
came with your Whirlpool washer.

4.Move washer close to final

position. Put “hook” end of drain hose
into standpipe. Estimate length of
drain hose needed when washer is in
final position. Hose must be cut
exactly to length so “hook” end is
held tightly over edge of standpipe. If
drain hose is too long, cut straight end
of hose. (Do Not cut “hook” shaped

end of drain hose.)
DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF

DRAIN HOSE DOWN THE STANDPIPE.
THIS COULD CAUSE SIPHONING. See
Step 6.

5.Place hose clamp over washer

drain connector. Push drain hose onto
washer connector. use pliers to open
clamp and slide clamp over drain
hose. Check for good fit.

6.Measure and mark a point

approximately 40.6 cm (16 inches)
from the plug end of the shipping
strap. Cut this shipping strap at this
point.

Put “hook” end of drain
hose into standpipe.
Tightly wrap the shipping
strap around the
standpipe. Push plug into
the nearest hole in the
shipping strap.

Check that hose is not
twisted or kinked and is
securely in place.

until nuts touch washer. Do Not
tighten nuts until Step 14.

12 . Tilt washer backward and

remove corner posts. Gently lower
washer to floor.

Move washer to its permanent
location. Remove cardboard or
hardboard from under washer.

14.If washer is not level, adjust

the front legs up or down. Make final
check with level.

When washer is level, use wrench
to turn nuts on front legs up tightly
against washer base. If nuts are not
tight against washer base, the washer
may vibrate.

20.Check that you have all of

your tools. Check that the shipping
strap with 2 cotterpins and plug was
removed from the back of the washer
and used to secure the drain hose.

If entire strap is not removed, washer
may vibrate and be noisy.
