Step 5: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for

installation and servicing.
Place washer in position on a clean, dry and

reasonably firm floor. Installing the washer on any

type of carpeting is not recommended.
For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with

a wooden block. Refer to Figure 11. Place rubber feet

(supplied in accessories bag) on all four leveling legs.

Refer to Figure 12.
Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the

washer is level from side to side and front to back.
If washer is not level, tilt washer back to access the

front leveling legs. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs

by screwing into or out of washer base.
Once adjusted, tilt the washer forward on front legs

and lower back down into position to set the rear self-

leveling legs.
Make sure that the washer does not rock. When

washer is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts

securely against bottom of washer base. If these

locknuts are not tight, washer will not remain

stationary during operation.
Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will

cause excessive vibration.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs

have been extended. Legs and base could become

damaged.
Verify that washer does not rock.
