INSTALLATION
Install your washing machine in a level, stable place.
•It is dangerous to place the washing machine in an
unstable location since it may move during vibration.
•It will increase the sound produced by the machine when it
vibrates during use.
When you move washing machine, hold the handles on
the sides.
There are moving parts, electrical parts and steel plates
which may cause electrical shock or injury.
•Never touch on the cabinet bottom by hands.
Never lift at the cabinet bottom by hands.
When the machine is covered.
Do not use the cover made of chloric vinyl. Sometimes it
damages resinous parts and painted surface. When you use
the cover made of chloric vinyl, put the cloth between the
machine and the cover.
Avoid place where the machine is exposed to direct
sunlight.
•Plastic parts may become deformed or discolored.
Avoid places where the machine may become frozen
during cold weather.
Allow a space of at least 5 cm from the sides and rear of
the machine to the nearest vertical object.
•When placed too near to walls or other objects, the
vibration of the machine during operation may cause them
to shake.

Installation

Adjust the legs so that the body of your washing machine is level (The two legs are adjustable).
After loosening the adjusting
nut, adjust the leg to the proper
height by turning it. Then
tighten the adjusting nut
securely once again.
When the leg height is difficult to
adjust because of floor slope or
unevenness, place a board of
sufficient thickness to prevent
breakage under the affected legs
to allow adjustment to a level
position.
A weight attached to a string may be used
to check to ensure that your washing
machine is level. The distance is less
than 1 cm between A and B.
