Leveling The Washer - LG WM2601HR User's Manual & Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INST UcTIONS
LEVELING THE WASHER
The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds, up to 1,200 RPM. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must
be a perfectly level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as
necessary to level the washer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can cause
the washer to vibrate.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the
floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to
corner to make sure that the washer does
not rock.
If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on
the pedestal to level the washer. The washer's
leveling feet should be fully retracted and locked
into position with the Iocknuts.

Loosen the Iocknuts on all 4 leveling feet
until you can turn the feet with the included
wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer
or counterclockwise to lower it.
Once the washer is level from side to side
and front to back, tighten all Iocknuts
securely.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is
properly level, run the washer with a test
load: place approximately 6 pounds of
laundry in the machine. Then press POWER,
press RINSE+SPIN, and then press the
START/PAUSE button. See the following
sections for additional information on cycle
selection and operation.
Verify that the washer does not rock or
vibrate excessively during the spin cycle.
If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust
the leveling feet until the washer is stable
and retest.
