2 PREPARE THE PEDESTAL

APull the drawer out as far as it

will go.

B Remove screws from drawer slides. Slide drawer out of the base and set aside.

FOR DRYERS ONLY:

CLocate the 4 support pads from the parts package. Each pad has 2 protrusions that fit into the holes on top of the pedestal. Press the rubber pads into each set of corner holes on the top of the pedestal as shown.

NOTE: The support pads should be installed on the dryer only. DO NOT INSTALL THESE PADS ON THE WASHER PEDESTAL.
