NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run
the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized load of
laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select
RINSE+SPIN, and then press the START/PAUSE button.
See the following sections for additional information on cycle
selection and operation. Verify that the washer does not
rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the
washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet, while the
washer is spinning, until the vibrations are reduced to a
minimum.
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS
(optional)Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer
from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads.
While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of
balance, excess noise and vibration can result from the
washer moving out of position. Ifthese conditions are
encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of
the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer
from moving during heavy outof balance conditions thereby
reducing noise and vibration.
