INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
_i
LEVELING THE WASHER
The drum
of your
new washer
spins
at very high
speeds,
up to 1,320
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.
• 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 Iocknuts.

Raise
Loosen
the Iocknuts
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.
Once the washer
is level from side to side
and front to back,
tighten
all Iocknuts
securely.
Make
sure that all 4 leveling
feet are in firm
contact
with the floor.
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,
press
RINSE+SPIN,
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.

Grouping
Similar
Items
For best results,
sort clothes
into loads that can
be washed
with the same wash
cycle.
Different
fabrics
have different
care
requirements.
Always
wash
dark
colors
separately
from light
colors
and whites
to prevent
discoloration.
If
possible,
do not wash
heavily
soiled
items with
lightly
soiled
ones. The
chart below
shows
recommended
groupings.
Loading
the
Washer
• Check
all pockets
to make
sure
that
they
are empty.
Items
such
as clips,
matches,
pens,
coins,
and keys
can damage
both
your
washer
and your
clothes.
• Close zippers,
hooks,
and drawstrings
to
prevent
these
items from snagging
or tangling
on other
clothes.
• Pretreat
heavily
stained
areas for best
results.
• Combine
large and small
items in a load.
Load
large items first.
• Large items should
not be more than
half of the
total washload.
• The washer
can be fully loaded,
but the drum
should
not be tightly
packed
with items.
The
door of the washer
should
close
easily.
• To prevent
an out-of-balance
load, do not wash
single
items.
Add one or two similar
items to
the load. Large,
bulky
items,
such
as a blanket,
comforter,
or bedspread
should
be washed
individually.
• Do not wash
or spin waterproof
clothes.
• When unloading
the washer,
check
under the
door seal for small
items.
