gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor,
or in any other concealed space of a building. The
accumulated lint could create a potential fire hazard.
, Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with
a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease
and lint creates a potential fire hazard.
, Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust
length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,
creating a potential fire hazard.
, Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
will cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire
hazard.
, Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that
extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate
lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

2 LEVELING LEGS
Level and stabilizing your appliance
!. Carefully move the appliance to its final location. Gently rock
the appliance into position. It is important not to damage the
rubber leveling legs when moving your appliance to its final
location. Damaged legs can increase appliance vibration. It
may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to help
move your appliance to its final position.
Note: Do not use washer cover to lift the unit.
2. To ensure the appliance is level and solid on all four legs,
tilt the appliance forward so the rear legs are off the
ground. Gently set the appliance back down to allow the
rear legs to self adjust.
3. With the appliance in its final position, place a level on top
of back part of the washer lid and check it side to side,
then check front to back. Screw the front leveling legs up
or down to ensure the appliance is resting solid on all four
legs (no rocking or the appliance should exist), turn the
lock nuts on each leg up toward the base of the unit and
snug with a wrench.
Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent excessive
vibration. The farther out legs are extended, the more the unit
will vibrate.
