REMOVING THE SHIPPING SUPPORTS
The machine is transported with three shipping supports, as illustrated below. These supports hold the tub in place during shipment. When you unpack the machine, you must remove these supports.
You must remove the shipping supports before you install the washer.
To remove the shipping supports, follow the instructions below:
1.Unscrew the 5/8” (12
mm)bolts holding the
supports in place and remove the bolts.
2.Push the rubber spacer up then pull it out of the slot.
3.Rotate the spacer so that the extruded end points toward the machine.
4.Insert it into the slot and push down to lock it into position.
LEVELING THE MACHINE
It is important that the machine is level so it won’t vibrate excessively during the spinning cycles. Each foot on the washer is adjustable, so you can level the washer on any surface. Once it is level, securely tighten the lock nuts on the feet to prevent excessive vibration during the spin cycles.
Be sure to tighten the lock nuts securely when you level the machine.

Water pressure must be in the range of
If a new supply pipe has been installed for the washer, it should be flushed thoroughly to remove any foreign particles that might clog the strainer in the water inlet.
