Installation Instructions
Leveling your laundry center
Excessive noise and vibration can be
prevented by properly leveling the laundry
center.
1. With the
laundry center
within 4 feet (1
m) of its final
location, place
a level on top
of the washer lid.
2. Use adjustable
pliers to adjust
the leveling
legs so the
laundry center
is level front-
to-rear and
side-to-side,
and stable corner-to-corner.
3. Press down
on alternate
corners and
sides and feel
for the slight-
est movement.
Adjust the
leg(s) so the laundry center sits solidly
on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the
leveling leg extension at a minimum
for best performance of the washer.
