Leveling the washer

Wash Basin

9WARNING

SCALDING

When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when pumping out hot suds into a wash basin.

Do not reach into the hot suds.

9CAUTION

APPLIANCE DAMAGE/DAMAGE TO TEXTILES If the end of the drain hose is dipped into the pumped-out water, water can be sucked back into the appliance and can damage the appliance/ textiles.

Make sure that:

▯The sealing plugs do not seal the drain of the wash basin.

▯The end of the drain hose does not dip into the pumped-out water.

▯The water flows out fast enough.

Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.

NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.

Importance of leveling the washer

Your new washer uses high spins speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer.

Follow these steps:

1.Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.

2.If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.

3.Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.

4.Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.

5.Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.

6.When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).

Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:

1.After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.

2.Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.

3.When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

Electrical connection

9WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Improper connection of the ground may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified technician or licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the washer has been properly grounded.

9WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washing machine to the power supply.

9WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

▯Only pull out the main cable by the plug and never by the cable, as this could damage it.

▯Never touch or hold the main plug with wet hands.

▯Never unplug the main plug during operation.
