2-1. HOW TO ADJUST LEVEL

Installation area
1
Install the washer on a firm, flat
•
surface.
If the washer is installed on an
•
unsuitable floor, it could make
considerable noise and vibrate.
Set Leveling feet
2
Loosen the locknuts on 2 front leveling
•
feet until you can turn the feet with the
included wrench. Turn clockwise to
raise the washer or counterclockwise
to lower it.
Raise
Do not use shims to level the washer. It
will create a hazardous condition. If the
washer is that far from being level, the
problem is with the floor rather than with
the washing machine.
CAUTION
• The ventilating openings in the base area must not be obstructed by carpeting.
• Install the washing machine on a level and firm surface, and tilt should be less than 1˚
• Wooden floors may need reinforcing to prevent the normal vibration which occurs with an unbalanced load.
• Do not install the washer on an inclined floor.
Improper installation of the washer may cause noise and malfunctioning.

Checking level
Open the lid, check if the washer is
•
correctly leveled by looking down
from the top. If a gap is seen
between the tub and drum, the
washer is not level.
Checking slope
If installation surface is tilted, the
•
washer will vibrate. Do not install
on a sloping floor.
