Installation
Level the washer
To ensure smooth operation, the washer must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result in increased water and energy consumption, loud noises during the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.
Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is leveled by adjusting the four feet:
^Tip the machine slightly and place a support, such as a block of wood, underneath it.
^Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot, 1, as well as the locking ring, 2, to the left using a screwdriver.
,CAUTION: The washer is extremely heavy. When tipping the machine be careful that it does not slip.
^Turn the locking ring, 2, counterclockwise with the enclosed combination wrench. Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot, 1, as well as the locking ring, 2, to the left.
^Check that the machine stands level.
^Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady with a wrench. Turn the locking ring, 2, with the combination wrench towards the machine.
,All four locking rings must be tight against the bottom of the machine. In addition, check to see that the feet were not inadvertently unscrewed while tightening the rings. Running a machine that is not level or whose feet are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.
