Leveling the Washer

The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.
CAUTION
• Using the washer without leveling it may cause
excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer
malfunction.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the washer to
vibrate.
NOTE
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Feet that move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excessive vibration and noise.

Using Non-Skid Pads
If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it
may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-
skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the
level.
