2. Adjust leveling legs

If washer/dryer is not level, use a 1" or 25 mm open-end or adjustable wrench to turn the leveling legs counterclockwise to lower the washer/dryer or clockwise to raise the washer/ dryer. Recheck levelness of washer/dryer and repeat as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of washer/dryer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of washer/dryer.

3. Plug into a grounded 3- or 4-prong outlet
