contents. The package contains four #12 x 3/4" hex-head
sheet metal screws and a drawer divider.

Spacer pads
The four spacer pads are installed on the top of the pedestal.
These pads reduce vibration between the pedestal and the

drawer slides and save screws. Remove the drawer from the
slides and set aside. Push the slides back into the pedestal.
BEFORE INSTALLING PEDESTAL
ImPoRtant: If your washer and dryer are already installed,
they must be uninstalled.
uninstalling your washer
To avoid possible damage to the washer, the transport bolts on
the back of the washer must be in place before installing the
pedestal. For more information on transport bolts see, "Remove
Transport System" in washer Use and Care Guide.
note: If the washer is to be transported, call your local service
center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your
washer must be properly set up for relocation by a certified
technician.
1. Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.
2. Unplug the power supply cord.
3. Slowly loosen the fill hoses at the faucets to relieve the water
pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water.
4. Remove the "HOT" and "COLD" fill hoses from the back of
the washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket.
5. Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub and
drain any water remaining in the hose into a bucket.
6. Pull the washer away from the wall so that you will have
enough space for the installation.
