INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Uninstalling your gas dryer
BEFORE INSTALLING PEDESTAL
IMPORTANT: If your washer and dryer are already installed, they must be uninstalled.
Uninstalling your washer
To avoid possible damage to the washer, the transport bolts on the back of the washer must be in place before installing the pedestal. For more information on transport bolts, see “Remove Transport System” in washer Use and Care Guide.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.
1.Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.
2.Unplug the power supply cord.
3. Slowly loosen the fill hoses at the faucets to relieve the water pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water.
4. Remove the “HOT” and “COLD” fill hoses from the back of the washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket.
5. Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub and drain any water remaining in the hose into a bucket.
6. Pull the washer away from the wall so it can be tipped on its back.
7. To avoid floor damage and ease installation and handling, unfold the empty pedestal box flat and place it next to the washer. Lay the washer on its back (make sure that the power supply cord is not under the washer) so that the cardboard is under the entire lower back edge of the washer.
8. An additional small amount of water will drain out of the washer when it is tipped back. Go to “Installing the Pedestal”.
