Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain
hose in place.

Leveling the Appliance

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 appliance without leveling it may
cause excess vibration and noise, leading to an
appliance malfunction.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the appliance. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the appliance to
vibrate.
NOTE
• Before installing the appliance, make sure that
the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oil so the appliance feet cannot slide easily.
Feet that move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excessive vibration and noise.
How to Level the Appliance
1
Position the appliance in its final location.
• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain hoses. If you have
a carpenter's level
check that the appliance is level. The slope
beneath the appliance should not exceed 1
, you can use it to
a
inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly
on the floor.
2
Adjust the leveling feet.
• Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to
raise the appliance or the other direction to
lower it.
3
Check the level again.
• Push or rock the top edges of the appliance
gently to make sure the appliance does not
rock. If the appliance rocks, readjust the
leveling feet.
4
Tighten the locknuts
• Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and
tighten them when the appliance is level.
WARNING
• Do not raise the front of the appliance with a
wood block or similar object. Doing so can cause
serious injury or death.
