Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
The washer uses high spin speeds to remove water
at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that the
washer is level and that the washer feet press with
equal pressure against the floor. This will help
assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of the
washer.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surfaces.
Preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the
washer feet as required to level the washer. Do
not place anything under the washer feet to help
level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is
necessary. The more the feet are extended, the
more vibration the washer will experience. Start
with the washer feet turned all the way in and
adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level (no supplied) to check the top
of the washer to make sure it is level side to side
and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to
make sure the washer doesn't "wobble". There
should be no "give" or movement. All the washer
feet should press equally against the floor. This is
just as important as the washer being level to
prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble,
lock the washer feet in place by tightening the
locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to
do this without changing the height of the foot
(hold the foot while tightening the locknut)
Procedure for adjusting the appliance feet:
1. After determining which the washer feet need to
be extended, have someone lift up on the washer
slightly to take pressure off the foot to be
adjusted.
2. Turn the washer foot to extend it downward as
far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer
the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use the
wrench (supplied) to tighten the locknut against
the washer bottom. The locknut should be
tighten against the bottom of the washer to lock
the foot in place.
