q Loosen the bolts using the closed end of the 17mm wrench provided. Loosen them until they can be reĆ moved freely. q The recessed bottom bolts may be more easily removed using a 1/2" (13 mm) socket wrench. Figure 14 q Completely remove all 4 transport bolt assemblies (bolt, washer and bushings) by reaching through the open washing machine door and pulling the drum slightly forward to loosen, then pull them out from the back (see Figure 14). q If the bushings do not come out when removing the bolts, place the bolts back into the bushings and carefully try again. It is important to do this with the bolts, otherwise the bushings will not come out properly. Figure 16 8. Follow the Installation Instructions that came with your appliance to finish installing or reinstalling your appliance (i.e., hoses, vents, etc.) 9. Slide the appliance to its final location. Figure 15 q Insert the covers until they snap in completely (see Figure 15). Storing the transport bolts Always keep the transport bolts for fuĆ ture transportation of the appliance (such as when moving out). q Store the transport bolts with the washer and bushing attached. Leveling Procedure 1. The appliance should now be in its final position, ready for leveling (moving the appliance after leveling can make it unlevel again.) Each foot of the appliance or pedĆ estal must be placed firmly on the floor to prevent the appliance from wobbling. Start with all four feet screwed in as far as possible, then back individual feet out as necessary to level the appliance. Move the feet as little as possible to help reduce vibration. 2. Use a bubble level (24" or less in length) to check the leveling status of the appliance (be sure the level fits between the edges of the appliance, and is not elevated at one end on a ridge on the surface of the appliance.) q Lay the bubble level across the unit worktop to check the level from side to side and from front to back. q A center-located bubble indicates the unit is leveled. Otherwise, repeat the leveling procedure until the unit is leveled. Tip: if the bubble is closer to one end, it indicates the high side of the unit. To level the unit, either lower the higher side or raise the lower side. q After leveling the unit from side to side, then turn the level so that it lays on the worktop from front to back to check if it is level in that direction. d CAUTION To avoid risk of injuries -Take care when using the wrench. q Loosen the lock nut (see Figure 17, item 1) by turning it clockwise. Use the wrench provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm open end wrench). When you turn the lock nut, the foot (see Figure 17, item 2) it is locked against will turn with it. This will extend the height of the foot. 6

Leveling
Procedure
1.
The
appliance
should
now
be
in
its
final
position,
ready
for
leveling
(moving
the
appliance
after
leveling
can
make
it
unlevel
again.)
Each
foot
of
the
appliance
or
pedĆ
estal
must
be
placed
firmly
on
the
floor
to
prevent
the
appliance
from
wobbling.
Start
with
all
four
feet
screwed
in
as
far
as
possible,
then
back
individual
feet
out
as
necessary
to
level
the
appliance.
Move
the
feet
as
little
as
possible
to
help
reduce
vibration.
2.
Use
a
bubble
level
(24"
or
less
in
length)
to
check
the
leveling
status
of
the
appliance
(be
sure
the
level
fits
between
the
edges
of
the
appliance,
and
is
not
elevated
at
one
end
on
a
ridge
on
the
surface
of
the
appliance.)
q
Lay
the
bubble
level
across
the
unit
worktop
to
check
the
level
from
side
to
side
and
from
front
to
back.
q
A
center-located
bubble
indicates
the
unit
is
leveled.
Otherwise,
repeat
the
leveling
procedure
until
the
unit
is
leveled.
Tip:
if
the
bubble
is
closer
to
one
end,
it
indicates
the
high
side
of
the
unit.
To
level
the
unit,
either
lower
the
higher
side
or
raise
the
lower
side.
q
After
leveling
the
unit
from
side
to
side,
then
turn
the
level
so
that
it
lays
on
the
worktop
from
front
to
back
to
check
if
it
is
level
in
that
direction.
d
CAUTION
To
avoid
risk
of
injuries
-Take
care
when
using
the
wrench.
q
Loosen
the
lock
nut
(see
Figure
17,
item
1
)
by
turning
it
clockwise.
Use
the
wrench
provided
(or
a
5/8"
-
16mm
open
end
wrench).
When
you
turn
the
lock
nut,
the
foot
(see
Figure
17,
item
2
)
it
is
locked
against
will
turn
with
it.
This
will
extend
the
height
of
the
foot.
