Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on pedestals, some side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration can be minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly, including being level and solid on all four (4) legs by following these directions.

1.If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip to step 4.

2.If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical and gas connections and exhaust venting. On models with Steam Option, turn off cold water supply and disconnect wa- ter supply hose to dryer.

3.If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electri- cal connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and dis- connect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply outlets. Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe.

4.Protect floor and unit with cardboard or rug and carefully lay the appliance on its side and screw each leg completely into the base.
