Preparation

!WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To prevent floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard.

Installing feet

Install the rear self-adjusting feet

1.Move the washer to approximately 3 feet of the final location. Prop up the rear of the washer about 4 in. (10.2) with a wood block or similar object. The block needs to support the weight of the washer. Install the self-adjusting rear feet.

The self-adjusting feet willfit into a hole, as shown below, in each rear corner of the washer.
