INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELING THE WASHER
The tub of your new washer spins at very high
speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a 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.
•
Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oils so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Leveling feet that move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excessive vibration and noise due
to poor contact with the floor.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor.
Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner
to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor.
1. Position the washer in its final location, taking spe-
cial care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water
and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the
washer.
2. Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise
the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.
3. To make sure that the washer is properly level,
open the lid and look from above to see if the tub
is centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown
in the drawing with the X through it), readjust the
front feet. If you have a level, check your washer
with the level.
