Installing the Washer

Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
Move washer so that it is within 1.2 meters (4 feet) of
the desired area of installation.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures.

Step 2: Position and Level the Washer

Washers elevated above floor level must
be anchored to that elevated surface,
base or platform. The material used to
elevate the washer should also be
anchored to the floor to ensure that the
washer will not walk or that the washer
can not be physically pulled, tipped or
slid from its installed position. Failure to
do so may result in conditions which can
produce serious injury, death and/or
property damage.
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door
as a handle in the transportation of the washer may
cause damage to the dispenser or door.
Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level
floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures is not recommended.
Place a level on the raised portion of cabinet top and
check if the washer is level from side to side and front
to back.
If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front
and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling
legs, prop up washer with a wooden block. Refer to
Figure 4. Loosen locknut and adjust legs until the
washer is level from side to side and front to back
(using a level). Washer should not rock.
Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer
base using the wrench. If the locknuts are not tight,
washer will move out of position during operation.
