INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVEL THE WASHER
The tub of your new washer spins at very high
speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a 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.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Feet that move or slide on the floor can contrib-
ute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor
contact with the floor.
All four feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to
rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure
that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.
1. Position the washer in its final location, taking spe-
cial care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water
and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the
washer.
2. Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise
the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.
3. To make sure that the washer is properly level,
open the lid and look from above to see if the tub
is centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown
in the drawing with the X through it), readjust the
front feet. If you have a level, check your washer
with the level.
To check if the washer is level from side to side,
place a level on the back edge of the lid.
To check if the washer is level front to back, place
a level at the side of the washer on the edge where

Using the washing machine without leveling
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine.
If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place
the level on the top of the lid. Using these sur-
faces will result in the washer being unlevel.
If the leveling feet have been adjusted as much as
possible and the washer is still not level, use the
risers to lift the back leg(s) of the washer to help
level it. To use, press the riser onto the leg. You
can stack up to three risers under one leg.
