USING NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery
surface, it may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, lay the non-skid
pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
• Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove foreign objects or
moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads
may slip.
• Adjust the level after placing the washing machine
in the installation area.
• Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the
floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads
under the front legs. If it is hard to place the pads
under the front legs, place them under the back
legs.
