G. LEVEL WASHER

Leveling your washer properly pre-

vents excessive noise and vibration.

To install front legs:

STEP 1. Prop front of washer up (about 4 inches). Use a wood block or another object that will support the weight of the washer. If washer was placed against

a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping it up.

STEP 2. With one of the legs in hand, screw lock nut onto leg 3/8 inch from top of leg base. This is the recommended initial setting.

STEP 3. Screw leg into washer base by hand until nut reaches washer base.

Repeat for other leg.

STEP 4. Tilt washer backward until front of washer is off the wood block.

Remove wood block. Gently lower washer to floor.

STEP 5. Move washer to its final location.

STEP 6. Tilt washer forward until rear of washer is at least 3 inches off floor.

You may hear the self-adjusting rear legs click into place. Lower washer to floor. Check levelness of the washer by placing a level on top of the washer,

first side-to-side; then front-to-back.

STEP 7. If washer is not level, prop up the front of the washer and adjust

the legs up or down as necessary. Lower

washer and reset self-adjusting rear legs (as in Step 6). Repeat Step 7 until

the washer is level.

STEP 8. When washer is in its final location and level, use a 9/16-inch open- end wrench to turn nuts on front legs tightly against washer cabinet. If nuts are not tight against washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
