The installer

must

have electrical

and mechanical

training

and acceptable

knowledge

in the required

work.

Safety is foremost---both

your own and that of other people.

Many

important safety instructions

are provided

in this

instruction

and your appliance.

Always read and observe

all

safety instructions.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Two or more

people may

be needed

to install and

move

the appliance

and pedestal

assembly.

Do not allow children

to play on the drawer.

Do not step on the handle.

A stacked

washer/dryer

pair should

never be mounted

on a pedestal.

NOTE:

A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-

loading washer than to a top-loader.

If your floor is wooden

and/or

frame construction,

you may need to reinforce

it.

Front-loaders

have substantially

faster spin speed than top-

loaders,

causing greater vibration.

If the floor is not solid,

your washer will vibrate.

NOTE:

If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow

the instructions

provided with the drip pan and make sure

the leveling

feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with

the pan.

Use of drip pans and failure to properly

level the

machine

may result in increased vibration and noise during

operation.

O

Level the

pedestal

on the clean

area by adjusting

the

feet.

Lock nut/__

_

Adjustable feet

NOTE:

Do not extend the legs no more than necessary

to level the pedestal.

The more the legs are extended,

the more the machines

will vibrate.

Leg

Extension

After the washer

is leveled, tighten

the lock

nuts up

toward

the base of the washer

using

the wrench.

All

four

lock nuts should

be tightened.

O

Position

the washer

or dryer

on top of the pedestal.

NOTE:

Because of the weight of the machines,

two or

more people may be needed.

NOTE:

If the washer was previously

installed, unplug it,

disconnect the inlet hoses and drain hose. Drain the

water from the hoses.

PEDESTAL

INSTALLATION

O

Remove

pedestal,

installation

hardware,

and

instructions

from the shipping

carton.

O

Before installing

the pedestal,

clean

the area where

the laundry

will be located.

Make

sure the floor

is

clean and free of foreign

objects.

Dust, water,

oil,

detergent

and so on could cause

vibration

due to

bad contact

of legs with

floor.

NOTE: The legs on the washer

and dryer are not the

same, so the recesses

in the brackets on top of the

pedestal are elongated.

See the drawing above to

identify the different locations for the washer

and dryer

legs. If the legs are not in the proper locations,

the

machine will not align properly and cannot be anchored

to the pedestal.
