To avoid possible injury and damage
to the appliance and adjacent
surfaces, all four transport bolts
must be removed before using the
appliance. Retain the bolts for use
in any future transport (e.g. when
moving). If you have purchased a
pedestal mounting kit, follow the
installation instructions provided
with it before removing the transport
bolts.
Loosen all four bolts before
removing any of the bolts all the
way from the unit.
Remove the bottom two bolts prior
to removing the top two bolts.
Remove the bolts in the order
shown in the diagram below.
Loosen the bolts using the closed
end of the 1/2" wrench provided.
Loosen them until they can be re-
moved freely.
The recessed bottom bolts may be
easier to remove using a 1/2" (13
mm) socket wrench.

transport bolt assembly out of its
retaining slot, then pull it out through
the round hole in the housing.
If the bushings do not come out
when removing the bolts, place the
bolts back into the bushings and
carefully try again. It is important to
do this with the bolts, otherwise the
bushings will not come out properly.
To store the bolts for future use, do
not remove the bolts from the
plastic bushings.
