Step 5: Position and Level the Washer

WARNING

Washers elevated above floor level must be anchored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The material used to elevate the washer should also be anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will not walk or that the washer can not be physically pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Failure to do so may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.

W306

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing.

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door as a handle in the transportation of the washer may cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures is not recommended.

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the washer is level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top panel. Refer to Figure 9.

If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with a wooden block. Refer to Figure 9. Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust legs until the washer is level from side to side and front to back (using a level). Washer should not rock.

Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not tight, washer will move out of position during operation.

NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base could become damaged.

Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on all four leveling legs.

Verify that unit doesn’t rock.
