Leveling Procedure; Transport, Such As When Moving Out - Bosch WFMC220BUC Operating Instructions Manual

Leveling Procedure
1,
The appliance should now be in its
final position, ready for leveling
(moving the appliance after
leveling can make it unlevel again.)
Each foot of the appliance or
pedestal must be placed firmly on
the floor to prevent the washing
machine from wobbling.

3,
Start with all four feet screwed in
as far as possible, then back
individual feet out as necessary to
level the washer.
Use the bubble level to level the
washer front to back and side to
side (be sure the level fits between
the edges of the washer, and is
not elevated at mone end on a
ridge on the surface of the
washer.)
Adjust the leveling of the washer
with the four height-adjustable
feet. Level the washer as low as
possible to heklp reduce vibration.
TO AVOID RISK OF INJURIES-Take
care when using the wrench.
E_ Loosen the lock nut 1 (1 on the
illustration) by turning it
clockwise. Use the wrench
provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm
open end wrench). When you
turn the lock nut, the foot (2 on
the illustration)it is locked
against will turn with it. This will
extend the height of the foot.
E_ Turning the foot out (clockwise)
will raise the corner of the
washer, turning the foot in
(counter-clockwise) will lower
the corner of the washer.
When the corner of the washer
is satisfactorily raised or
lowered, lock the
height-adjustable feet in place
by turning the lock nut
counter-clockwise until it locks
tightly against the washer
housing.
D It may be necessary to hold
the washer foot with a pair
of pliers to keep it from
turning while tightening the
lock nut. It the foot does
turn, it will change the
height of the corner.

After making preliminary
adjustments, press down on
each corner of the washer to
make sure the unit does not
wobble. If it does wobble,
lower the foot on that corner
until the foot touches the floor
firmly.
Use a bubble level (24" or less in
length) to check the leveling status
of the appliance.

Lay the bubble level across the
unit worktop to check the level
from side to side and from front
to back.
A center-located bubble
indicates the unit is leveled.
Otherwise, repeat the leveling
procedure until the unit is
leveled. Tip: if the bubble is
closer to one end, it indicates
the high side of the unit. To
level the unit, either lower the
higher side or raise the lower
side.
After leveling the unit from side
to side, then turn the level so
that it lays on the worktop from
front to back to also check the
level in that direction.
Fine tune the leveling by placing a
small load of laundry in the
machine, starting it in spin cycle
and then leveling the washer
again.
If the test spin cycle is manually
stopped before its completion,
then the door may remain locked
for 10 seconds.
Transport, such as when
moving out
Before transporting the washing
machine:
- Turn off the water.

Disconnect the washing machine
from the power outlet.

Having transported the appliance
and ensured proper installation
and connection, allow the Drain
program to run through before
starting the first wash program.
