INSTALLATION
Leveling the washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be
prevented by properly leveling the washer.
1. For free standing
installation and
with the washer
within 4 feet
(1 m) of its final
location, place a
level on top of the
washer.
2. Use an adjustable
wrench to adjust
the leveling legs so
the washer 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 slightest
movement. Adjust
the appropriate
leg(s) so the
washer sits solidly on the floor on
ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg
extension at a minimum for best
performance of the washer.

For pedestal installations, see additional
installation instructions included with the
