INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Leveling the washing machine

The washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,000 RPM.
NOTE
Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to
y
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
y
the washer gently from corner to corner to make sure
that the washer does not rock.
Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is
y
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the
washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can
move or side on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
1
Position the washer in the final location,
taking special care to not pinch, strain, or crush the water
and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
2
Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the
washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

level.

and place a level at the back of the lid.
• To check if the washer is level front to back, place a level at
the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side
meets the top cover.
If the washer is not level, adjust the leveling feet. Turn
