Leveling the washing machine

The washer tub of your new washing machine
spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be
perfectly level and solid.
1
Check that the washing machine is level.
- Check the precise levelness by rocking the top
edges of the washing machine or placing a level
on the washing machine. The slope beneath the
washing machine must not exceed 1°, and all
four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
2
Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the
washing machine.
- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises
the washing machine.

WARNING
y Using the washing machine without leveling
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
y If you are installing the washing machine
on the optional pedestal, you must adjust
the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the
washing machine. The washing machine´s
leveling feet should be minimized. Turn the
locknuts counterclockwise to secure.
y Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine. If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
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.
1
Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the
non-skid pads may slip.
2 Adjust the level after placing the washing
machine in the installation area.
3
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.
