Final Installation Steps Level Washer/Dryer IMPORTANT: Level washer/dryer properly to reduce excess noise and vibration. 1. Check levelness of washer/dryer 3. Tighten leveling feet (24" [61 cm] models) Jam nut Place level here Place level here With washer/dryer in its final location, place a level on top edges of washer/dryer. Use side seam as a guide to check levelness of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as shown. Rock washer/ dryer back and forth to make sure all four feet make solid contact with floor. If washer/dryer is level, skip to step 3 (24" [61 cm] models) or "Install Anti-Tip Brackets" (27" [69 cm] models). When washer/dryer is level, use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts counterclockwise on leveling feet tightly against washer/dryer cabinet. HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop washer/dryer with a wooden block. Install Anti-Tip Brackets (27" [69 cm] Models Only) 1. Attach anti-tip brackets Not Level LEVEL Not Level 2. Adjust leveling feet (24" [61 cm] model shown) Jam nut If washer/dryer is not level, prop up front of washer/dryer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of washer/dryer. On 24" (61 cm) models, use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer/dryer cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer/dryer or counterclockwise to raise the washer/dryer. On 27" (69 cm) models, adjust the feet up or down as necessary. On all models, remove wood block and lower washer/dryer. Recheck levelness of washer/dryer and repeat as needed. 32 IMPORTANT: The anti-tip brackets must be installed on 27" (69 cm) models to avoid possible tipping backward of the washer/dryer. With the washer/dryer in its final location, place anti-tip brackets at the lower left and lower right corners of the rear of the washer/dryer, aligning the screw holes in the brackets with the perforations in the cabinet, as shown. Insert two of the provided screws in the top left and bottom holes in the left-hand bracket with a 1/4" (6.5 mm) nut driver or socket wrench and secure tightly to the washer/dryer cabinet. Repeat for the right-hand bracket using the top right and bottom holes.
