LEVELING THE WASHER

Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet

until you can turn the feet with the included

wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer

or counterclockwise to lower it.

Once the washer is level from side to side

and front to back, tighten all locknuts

securely.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm

contact with the floor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is

properly level, run the washer with a test

load: place approximately 6 pounds of

laundry in the machine. Then press POWER,

press RINSE+SPIN, and then press the

CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB. See the following

sections for additional information on cycle

selection and operation.

Verify that the washer does not rock or

vibrate excessively during the spin cycle.

If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust

the leveling feet until the washer is stable

and retest.

Position the washer in the final location,

taking special care to not pinch, strain, or

crush the water and drain lines. Place a level

across the top of the washer.

The drum of your new washer spins at very high

speeds, up to 1200 RPM. To minimize vibration,

noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must

be a perfectly level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as

necessary to level the washer. Extending the

leveling feet more than necessary can cause

the washer to vibrate.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the

floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to

corner to make sure that the washer does

not rock.
