INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS LEVELING THE WASHER The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,100 RPM. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly 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. Level Leveling Feet Leveling Feet 1 Position the washer in the final location, taking special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer. Raise Lower 2 Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet until you can turn the feet with the included wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer or counterclockwise to lower it. • All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to corner to make sure that the washer does not rock. If you are installing the washer on the optional pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer. The washer's leveling feet should be fully retracted and locked into position with the locknuts. NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run the washer with a test load: Place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select RINSE+SPIN cycle, and then press the START/ PAUSE button. See the following sections for additional information on cycle selection and operation. Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet until the washer is stable and retest. INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL) Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can result from the washer moving out of position. If these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer from moving during heavy out of balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and vibration. • Non-skid pads This side up Stick adhesive side to floor Remove backing ※Place the pads under both front feet. Tighten all 4 lock nuts securely using the wrench. 3 Once the washer is level from side to side and front to back, tighten all locknuts securely. Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm 14 contact with the floor. MFL62526858_en_100728.indd 14 7/28/10 4:20:32 PM
