14 INSTALLATION Leveling the washer Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly leveling the washer. 1. For free standing installation and with the washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its final location, place a level on top of the washer. 2. Use an adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-tocorner. 3. Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer.  NOTE For pedestal installations, see additional installation instructions included with the pedestal.
