Leveling

Procedure

1.

now

be

in

its

final

position,

ready

for

leveling

(moving

the

appliance

after

can

make

it

unlevel

again.)

Each

foot

of

the

appliance

or

pedestal

must

be

placed

firmly

on

the

floor

to

prevent

the

washing

machine

from

wobbling.

Start

with

all

four

feet

screwed

in

as

far

as

possible,

then

back

individual

feet

to

level

the

washer.

the

bubble

level

to

level

the

washer

front

to

back

and

side

to

side

(be

the

level

fits

between

the

edges

of

the

washer,

and

is

not

elevated

at

mone

end

on

a

ridge

on

the

surface

of

the

washer.)

with

the

four

height-adjustable

Level

the

washer

as

the

lock

nut,

the

foot

(

2

on

the

illustration)

it

is

locked

against

will

turn

with

it.

This

will

extend

the

height

of

the

foot.

q

Turning

the

foot

out

(clockwise)

will

raise

the

corner

of

the

washer,

turning

the

the

washer

foot

with

a

pair

of

pliers

to

keep

it

from

turning

while

tightening

the

lock

nut.

It

the

foot

does

turn,

it

will

change

the

height

of

the

corner.

q

After

making

preliminary

adjustments,

press

down

on

each

corner

of

the

washer

to

make

sure

the

unit

does

not

wobble.

If

it

does

wobble,

lower

the

foot

on

that

corner

until

the

foot

touches

the

floor

firmly.

the

bubble

level

the

unit

worktop

to

check

the

level

from

side

q

A

center-located

bubble

indicates

the

unit

is

leveled.

Otherwise,

repeat

the

leveling

procedure

until

the

unit

is

leveled.

Tip:

if

the

bubble

to

also

check

the

level

in

that

direction.
