INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Leveling the machine

To ensure smooth operation, it is es- sential that the machine is level.

Failure to level the machine can result in the machine “banging” in the spin cycle or “walking” across the floor dur- ing operation. Energy and water use will also increase.

Adjust the four leveling feet as fol- lows:

^Tip the machine slightly and place a support, such as a block of wood, underneath it.

BEWARE : The washing machine is heavier than it looks! When tipping the machine, be careful that it does not slip or slide along the floor. Take care not to injure yourself or dam- age any surrounding furniture.

^Unscrew each of the four feet as much as necessary by turning both the foot 1 as well as the locking ring 2 to the left using a screwdriver (see il- lustration).

^Remove the supports, stand the ma- chine on its feet and check to see if it is level.

Repeat this procedure as often as nec- essary until the machine stands level.

^Once level, hold the foot 1 immobile using a wrench while turning the locking ring 2 to the right using a screwdriver. Turn each locking ring until it is tight against the bottom of the machine frame.

All four locking rings must be tight against the bottom of the machine. In addition, check to see that the feet were not inadvertently un- screwed while tightening the rings. Running a machine that is not level or whose feet are not tight may cause damage to both the machine and its surrounding area.
