Preparing Pedestal Before Mounting - Electrolux EPWD15MB Installation Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
NOTE
Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on pedestals,
some side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration
can be minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly,
including being level and solid on all four (4) legs by following
these directions.
A) Preparing washer or dryer for mount-
ing on pedestal
1. If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip
to step 4.
2. If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical
and gas connections and exhaust venting. On models with
Steam Option, turn off cold water supply and disconnect wa-
ter supply hose to dryer.
3. If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electri-
cal connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and dis-
connect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply
outlets. Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe.
4. Protect floor with cardboard or other covering. Using two or
more persons, carefully tip the washer or dryer onto its back.
Take care not to damage hoses and/or electrical cords as you
lay the unit back.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move
or lift the washer or dryer.
5. Remove all four (4) adjustable leveling legs from the appliance
base and save for future use.
NOTE
If leveling legs are not removed, mounting holes in appliance
will not align to mounting holes in brackets.
6. Carefully return appliance to upright position.
B) Preparing pedestal before mounting
washer or dryer
1. Locate pedestal to within a few inches of its final location.
DO NOT remove foam!
NOTE
Allow for approximately 5 in. (12.5 cm) behind the pedestal
for clearance of back of washer or dryer to the wall. Allow an
additional 3/4 in. (2 cm) for water inlet on Steam Model Dryers
and additional space if venting dryer upward or downward.
2. Level the pedestal front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting
each leveling leg. Keep leg extension to a minimum.
