Pedestal Installation - Kenmore 796.5112#61# Installation Instruction

NOTICE
The installer must have electrical and mechanical
training and acceptable knowledge in the required
work.
Safety is foremost---both your own and that of other people.
Many important safety instructions are provided in this
instruction and your appliance. Always read and observe all
safety instructions.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people may be needed to install and
move the appliance and pedestal assembly.
Do not allow children to play on the drawer.
Do not step on the handle.
A stacked washer/dryer pair should never be mounted
on a pedestal.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-
loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wooden
and /or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders have substantially faster spin speed than top-
loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid,
your washer will vibrate.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow
the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure
the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the
machine may result in increased vibration and noise during
operation.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION

1
Remove pedestal, installation hardware, and
instructions from the shipping carton.
2
Before installing the pedestal, clean the area where
the laundry will be located. Make sure the floor is
clean and free of foreign objects. Dust, water, oil,
detergent and so on could cause vibration due to
bad contact of legs with floor.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow these instructions.
3
Level the pedestal on the clean area by adjusting the
feet.
Lock nut
NOTE: Do not extend the legs no more than necessary
to level the pedestal. The more the legs are extended,
the more the machines will vibrate.
After the washer is leveled, tighten the lock nuts up
toward the base of the washer using the wrench. All
four lock nuts should be tightened.
4
Position the washer or dryer on top of the pedestal.
NOTE: Because of the weight of the machines, two or
more people may be needed.
NOTE: If the washer was previously installed, unplug it,
disconnect the inlet hoses and drain hose. Drain the
water from the hoses.
NOTE: The legs on the washer and dryer are not the
same, so the recesses in the brackets on top of the
pedestal are elongated. See the drawing above to
identify the different locations for the washer and dryer
legs. If the legs are not in the proper locations, the
machine will not align properly and cannot be anchored
to the pedestal.
