Leveling the Washer The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface. CAUTION • Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer malfunction. • 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. 3 Check the level again. • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the leveling feet. 4 Tighten the locknuts b • Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the washer is level. NOTE • 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. How to Level the Washer 1 Position the washer in its final location. • Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter's level a, you can use it to check that the washer is level.

If this occurs, install the nonskid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
