• An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.

• Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,

carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer/dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To avoid floor damage, set washer/dryer onto cardboard before moving across floor. Move washer/dryer close to its final location.

1. Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow strap firmly, until completely removed from washer/dryer. There should be

2 cotter pins on the end of the shipping strap. Remove the hang tag and pin from the vent pipe.

Install the front leveling feet

1. Prop up the front of the washer/dryer about 4" (10.2 cm) with

a wood block or similar object. The block needs to support the weight of the washer/dryer.

2. Screw the Iocknut onto each foot to within 1" (2.5 cm) of the base.

Screw the feet into the correct holes at the front corner of the washer/dryer until the nuts touch the washer.

NOTE: Do not tighten the nuts until the washer/dryer is level.

Tilt the washer/dryer back and remove the wood block. Gently lower the washer/dryer to the floor.

Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from

coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:

iMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

1. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water.

iMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose

1A"(6.4 mm) from the end.

2. Tilt the washer/dryer forward. Move each of the 2 rear legs in an up-down motion to check the self-adjusting leveling legs

for free movement. This is required for proper leveling. Gently lower the washer/dryer to the floor.

3. Cut the shipping strap about 16" (40,6 cm) from the plug end. Look for the words "CUT HERE." Discard end with cotter pins.

You will use the remaining piece of shipping strap to secure the drain hose.

For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems

1. Make sure drain hose form is in correct position.

A. Drain hose form

2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

• Do not force excess drain 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.

For use with floor drain

Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and

Parts."

Insert a new flat washer into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching

the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers.

2. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two- thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

2. Attach hose to the cold water faucet, Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two- thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result,

Clear the water lines

• Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket or laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

• Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the

cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

A. Cold water inlet valve (top) B. Hot water inlet valve (bottom)

4. Attach the cold water hose to the top inlet valve.

5. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

6. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two- thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

If you are working in a closet or recessed area Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove

cardboard from under washer/dryer. 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 hookup of water hoses. Replace access panel upon completion of washer/dryer installation.

Check for leaks

• Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water 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.

• If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.

• Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

• The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1. Move the washer/dryer to its final location and remove any cardboard used to move the washer/dryer.

2. Locate the remaining piece of shipping strap. See "Remove Shipping Strap."

Shipping strap

Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the shipping strap (A or B below). Push fastener into the

nearest hole in the shipping strap (see illustration above).

Optional exhaust installations

This washer/dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right or left side. To convert the washer/dryer, use Side Exhaust Kit

Part Number 279823. If your washer/dryer 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:
