ENGLISH Leveling the Washer The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface. NOTE ••Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate. ••Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor. 1 Position the washer in its final location. Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter's level, you can place it across the top of the washer. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor. Level PRODUCT OVERVIEW 15 4 Recheck the washer's levelness. Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3. CAUTION ••Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a machine malfunction. ••Extend the leveling feet only to level the washer. If you extend the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washer. Using Non-Skid Pads If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level. 1 Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads. Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip. 1" 2 Adjust the lower leveling feet. Turn in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it. 2 Adjust the level after placing the washer in the installation area. 3 Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor. It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet, place them under the back leveling feet.
