LEVELING THE WASHER

The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds, up to 1,320 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 locknuts.
Raise Lower
2 Loosen the locknuts 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.

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.
Tighten all 4
locknuts securely
3 Once the washer is level from side to side
and front to back, tighten all locknuts
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.

Loading the Washer
• Check all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as clips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
• Large items should not be more than half of the
total washload.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer should close easily.
• To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash
single items. Add one or two similar items to
the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,
comforter, or bedspread should be washed
individually.
• Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
• When unloading the washer, check under the
door seal for small items.
H O W TO U S E
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If
possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with
lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows
recommended groupings.
