Installation Instructions

Before Installing Pedestal

IMPORTANT: If your washer and dryer are already installed, they must be uninstalled.

If you need to uninstall your washer or dryer, see the installation instructions that came with your model for tools required.

Uninstalling your washer

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and uninstall washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported, call your local service center. To prevent suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

1.Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.

2.Unplug the power supply cord.

3.Slowly loosen the fill hoses at the faucets to relieve the water pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water.

4.Remove the “HOT” and “COLD” fill hoses from the back of the washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket.

5.Squeeze the ears of the drain hose clamp with pliers to open and slide the clamp down the hose. Disconnect the drain hose from the washer and drain any water in the hose into a bucket.

6.Pull the washer away from wall so it can be tipped on its back.

7.Protect the floor with a large piece of cardboard cut from the pedestal carton. Lay the washer on its back (make sure that the power supply cord is not under the washer) so that the cardboard is under the entire lower back edge of the washer.
