LEVEL THE WASHER

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
One washer foot has been installed at a dif-
ferent height on the washer. The other three
feet were preset at the factory. Properly level-
ing your washer will minimize noise and vibra-
tion.
1. Slide the washer to its final location.
2. Push on upper front panel to be sure the
washer is on its rear feet.
3. Lower right front foot until it contacts the
floor. By hand, firmly rotate foot as much
as an additional 1-1/2 turns. The other
three feet have been preset at the fac-
tory.
4. Check the levelness of the washer by
first placing a level on the lid near the
console. Next, place the level on the side
of the washer in the crease between the
top of the washer and the cabinet.
5. If the washer is not level, move the wash-
er out slightly, tip back, prop up the front
of the washer on a wood block. Adjust the
feet up or down as necessary by twisting
the feet. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until
washer is level.
6. Use a 9/16˝ or 14 mm open-end wrench
to turn the locknut counterclockwise on
the foot tightly against the washer cabi-
net.
IMPORTANT: If the locknut is not tight against
the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
