Leveling Procedure

1.The appliance should now be in its final position, ready for leveling (moving the appliance after

leveling can make it unlevel again.)

Each foot of the appliance or pedestal must be placed firmly on the floor to prevent the washing 4. machine from wobbling.

Start with all four feet screwed in as far as possible, then back individual feet out as necessary to level the washer.

2.Use the bubble level to level the washer front to back and side to side (be sure the level fits between the edges of the washer, and is not elevated at mone end on a ridge on the surface of the washer.)

3.Adjust the leveling of the washer with the four height-adjustable feet. Level the washer as low as possible to heklp reduce vibration.

dCAUTION

TO AVOID RISK OF INJURIES-Take care when using the wrench.

q Loosen the lock nut1 (1 on the illustration) by turning it clockwise. Use the wrench provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm open end wrench). When you turn the lock nut, the footn (2 the illustration) it is locked against will turn with it. This will extend the height of the foot.

q Turning the foot out

(clockwise)

 

will raise the corner of the

 

washer, turning the foot in

 

(counter-clockwise) will lower

 

the corner of the washer.

qPrepare the transport bolts:

Loosen the screw in the sleeve until the end of the screw is level with the end of the sleeve.

qInsert and tighten all transport bolts. Make sure that the tab on the transportation bolt is inserted

in the slot on the washing machine back panel.

Fine tune the leveling by placing a small load of laundry in the machine, starting it in spin cycle and then leveling the washer again.

If the test spin cycle is manually

stopped before its completion, then the door may remain locked for 10 seconds.
