Installation
Leveling the washer | Adjust the four leveling feet |
To ensure smooth operation the washer must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result in increased water and energy consumption as well as the washer "banging" during the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.
The washer is leveled by adjusting the four feet. The machine is boxed with the feet completely screwed in.
Turn the locking nut, 2, counter- clockwise with the enclosed combination wrench. Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot, 1, and the locking nut, 2, to the left.
Check that the machine stands level.
Once level, hold the foot, 1, steady with a wrench. Turn the locking nut, 2, with the combination wrench towards the machine.
All four locking nuts must be tight against the bottom of the machine. In addition, check to see that the feet were not inadvertently unscrewed while tightening the nuts. Running a machine that is not level or whose feet are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.
