washer, do not remove the
washer transportation bolts prior
to installing the pedestal.
2. Remove the protective film, four
corner supports, and two foam
packaging pieces.
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.
Helpful Hint: Place the two corner
supports from your appliance
