Level the washer

To ensure smooth operation the washer must be level.

Failure to level the machine can result in increased water and energy con- sumption as well as the washer "bang- ing" in the spin cycle or "walking" across the floor during use.

Adjust the four leveling feet

The washer is levelled by adjusting the four feet.

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

,CAUTION: The washer is heavier than it looks! When tipping the ma- chine be careful that it does not slip. Take care not to injure yourself or damage 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.

^Remove the support and stand the machine on its feet.

^Check that the machine stands level.

^Repeat this procedure until the ma- chine stands level.

^Once level, hold the foot, 1, immobile with a wrench. At the same time turn the locking ring, 2, to the right using a screwdriver.

,All four locking rings must be tight against the bottom of the ma- chine. 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.
