LEVELING
THE WASHER
The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movemenh the
floor must be a level, solid surface. NOTE: Adjust the ieveiincj
feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extendincj
the ieveiincj feet more than necessary can cause the washer to
vibrate.
NOTE: Before instaiiincj the washer, make
sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of
dus h dirt_ water and oils so the washer feet
cannot slide easily. Leveiincj feet that
move or slide on the floor can contribute
to excess vibration
and noise due to
poor contact with the floor. See
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID
PADS
for more information.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow the
instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the
levelincj 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
durincj operation.
All four levelincj feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock
the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all
four levelincj feet are in firm and even contact with the floor.

Leveling Feet
J
1. Position
the washer
in its 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
2. Loosen the locknuts on all four leveling feet with the
wrench
until you can adjust
the feet (wrench
appearance
may vary). Use the wrench
to turn the feet clockwise
to raise the washer, and counterclockwise
to lower the
washer.
Using a level, adjust the feet until the washer
is
level from side to side and front to back. Make sure that
all four feet are in firm contact
with the floor.
NOTE:
If you are installing
the washer
on the optional
pedestal,
the washer
leveling
feet should
be fully
retracted.
Use the leveling
feet on the pedestal
to level the washer.
Tighten
all 4 lock nuts
securely
using the
wrench.
3. Once
the washer
is level from
side to side and front to
back,
use the adjusting
wrench
to tighten
all four lock
nuts securely
to prevent
the legs from getting
out of
adjustment
during
operation.
Make
sure that
all four
leveling
feet are in flrm contact
with
the floor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run the
washer with a test load: place a medium-sized
load of laundry
in the machine. Then, press POWER, select RINSE & SPIN, and
press the START/PAUSE button.
See the followincj
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 ieveiincj feet_ while the washer is spinnincj,
until the vibrations
are reduced.
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
toad to be out
of balance, excess noise and vibration
can result from the
washer moving out of position° If these conditions
are en-
countered, 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.
NOTE: The non-skid pads are included in the installation
packet
Non-skid pads
his side up
Stick adhesive side to floor
move backing
*Place the pads under both front feet.
