LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a 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.

NOTE: Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the

washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess

vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

•All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure

that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

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.

2.Adjust the 2 front leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

•To check if the washer is level side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid.

•To check if the washer is level front to back, place a level at the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top or the lid as using these parts will result in the washer being out of level.

3.To make sure that the washer is properly level, open the lid and look from above to see the tub is centered. If the

tub is NOT centered as shown in the drawing on the right, readjust the front feet. If you have a level, check your washer with the level.
