Before installing pedestal IMPORTANT: If your washer and dryer are already installed, they must be uninstalled. Uninstalling your washer To avoid possible damage to the washer, the transport bolts on the back of the washer must be in place before installing the pedestal. For more information on transport bolts see, "Remove Transport System" in washer Use and Care Guide. NOTE: If the washer is to be transported, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician. 1. Turn off the hot and cold water faucets. 2. Unplug the power supply cord. 3. Slowly loosen the fill hoses at the faucets to relieve the water pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water. 4. Remove the "HOT" and "COLD" fill hoses from the back of the washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket. 5. Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub and drain any water remaining in the hose into a bucket. 6. Pull the washer away from the wall so that you will have enough space for the installation. 3
