10.2 Positioning

It is important that your washing machine
stands firm and level on the floor to
ensure correct operation.
Use a spirit level on the front and side
panels of the washing machine to check
the levels. The spirit level should be used
close to the corners of the washing
machine for accuracy. By hand, or using
a spanner if necessary, adjust the back
legs first then the front.
Adjust the four legs up or down as
required. You machine mat have
adjustable legs with a stepped base. If
so, please use either a 38 mm or 25 mm
spanner or adjust them by hand.
If you do not have spirit level, as a guide
use the edge of a door frame, cupboard
or bench to check that the washing
machine is level.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs
etc. Check that the machine does not
touch the wall or cupboard units.
When the washing machine is levelled,
try to rock it from corner to corner. If it
does rock, adjust the legs again until it is
levelled and does not rock.
