Preparing Your
Appliance
Existing Appliance - If you are
installing the pedestal on an appliance
that has already been in use, begin with
the Preparing Your Existing
Appliance"
section immediately
below.
New Appliance - If you are installing
the pedestal on a new washer or dryer,
proceed to the Preparing Your New
Appliance"
section on the page
following.
Preparing Your
Existing Appliance
1. Pull the appliance away from the
wall so it can be positioned on its
left side.
Step 2 below applies to washers.
For dryers go directly to step 3.
NOTICE
Make sure the washer
transportation bolts are
reinstalled prior to pedestal
installation to prevent potential
damage to the washer drum.
i Your washer was originally
shipped with four transportation
bolts installed to protect the
drum during transit. The
washer installation instructions
required these bolts to be
removed during the original
setup. The transportation bolts
must now be reinstalled prior to
pedestal installation.
2. To reinstall the transportation bolts:
q Locate the four transportation
bolt assemblies originally
shipped with your washer (see
Figure 2).
Figure 2
q Remove the four
transportation bolt hole
covers on the back of the
washer. (1) Push the tab
inward with your thumb while
(2) sliding the cover in the
direction of the two vertical
slots in the plastic cover (see
Figure 3).
Figure 3
q Insert the bolt assemblies.
Start with the lower left and
install all four assemblies going
counterclockwise. Align each
one into the hole until the
plastic bushing is all the way
inside the back panel of the
washer and the rectangular
collar is oriented to fit the slot.
This aligns the bolt assembly so
the bolt will thread correctly into
the drum. Slide the bolt
assembly in the direction of the
slotted area.
q When installing the first bolt
assembly, it is necessary to
push against the drum with the
assembly to allow it to slide into
place.
Figure 4
q Make sure the tab on the
transportation bolt washer is
inserted in the slot on the
washing machine back panel.
i Do not thread any of the bolts until
all four are in place, then tighten
each one.
NOTICE
Damage to the drum may result if
the plastic bushing is removed
from the bolt prior to tightening.
3. Protect the floor and the side of the
appliance by laying a sufficiently
large piece of cardboard (such as
the pedestal carton) or other
suitable protective covering flat on
the floor to the left of the unit.
Support the appliance
approximately 1 1/2" to 2" off the
floor (see Figure 5).
Helpful Hint: Rolled up towels can
be used as support.
d CAUTION
When lifting or lowering the
appliance onto its side, avoid
sliding it against the floor as this
may result in injury or damage.
4. Lay the appliance on its LEFT side
(see Figure 6).
Note for Washers: Slight water
spillage may be noticed due to
laying washer on its side.
5. Go to the Installing the
Pedestal" section of this manual.
