Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently rock
the washer into position. It is important not to damage
the rubber leveling legs when moving uour washer
to its final location. Damaged legs can increase washer
vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on
the floor to help move your washer into its final position.
NOTE:To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber
leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and
pull on the back right and then back left of your
washer.
NOTE:Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer.
NOTE:If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use
a 24-inch-long 2x4 to lever the washer into place.
With the washer in its
final position, place
a level on top of the
washer (if the washer
is installed under a
counter, the washer
should not be able to
rock). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer
is resting solidly. Turn the Iocknuts on each leg
up toward the base of the washer and snug with
a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are
extended, the more the washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have
to extend the rear leveling legs.
