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.

care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain
lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
Loosen the locknuts on all four leveling feet with the
wrench until you can adjust the feet (wrench appearance
may vary). Use the wrench to turn the feet clockwise
to raise the washer, and counterclockwise to lower the
washer. Using a level, adjust the feet until the washer is
level from side to side and front to back. Make sure that

NOTE:
If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, the washer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer.
Once the washer is level from side to side and front
to back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four
lock nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out
of adjustment during operation. Make sure that all

NOTE:
To make sure that the washer is properly level,
run the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized
load of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER,
select RINSE & SPIN, and press the START/PAUSE
button.
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, while the washer is spinning, until the
vibrations are reduced.

unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional
load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration
can
result from the washer moving out of position. If
these
conditions are encountered, follow the instructions
below
for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads
will help
prevent the washer from moving during heavy,
out of
balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and
vibration.

Non-skid pads are included in the installation
