5. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently
rock the washer into position.
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.
6. 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 solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up
towards 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.
