6.
Align the sides of the pedestal so that they are even with the
sides of the washer or dryer. Reach inside pedestal opening
and securely tighten all four pedestal screws.
7.
For the washer, install the feet that came with it and save
the two feet included in the carton for future use on a dryer
pedestal. For the dryer, install the feet that came with the
pedestal.
8.
Tip the washer or dryer back to its upright position. Remove
and discard packaging including the washer’s plastic film,
corner posts, and top cap.
Complete the Installation
Follow the installation instructions that came with your model
to complete installing or reinstalling your washer or dryer (i.e.,
hoses, vents, etc.).
Level the Washer or Dryer and Pedestal
Properly leveling and locking the feet on the washer or dryer
avoids excessive noise and vibration.
1.
Check that the four locknuts on the pedestal feet are
tightened against the pedestal cabinet using a 14 mm
open-end wrench.
2.
Place the washer or dryer in its final location and check the
levelness of the washer or dryer. The washer or dryer should
not move front-to-back, side-to-side, or diagonally when
pushed on its top edges. Remove the shipping bolts from
the washer.
3.
If the washer or dryer is not level, move the washer or dryer out
slightly before tipping back. First prop the front with a wood
block, loosen the locknuts, and adjust the pedestal feet as
necessary. Then prop the back and adjust the pedestal feet as
necessary. Repeat steps 1–3 until the washer or dryer is level.
IMPORTANT:
All four feet must be tightened. If the
locknuts are not tight against the pedestal cabinet,
the washer or dryer may vibrate.
Installing the Pedestal
Follow these instructions to install the pedestal on a washer or dryer.
The parts bag contains four #12 x 5/8" hex head sheet metal
screws, two adjustable feet, and the Installation Instructions.
1.
Make sure that all four spacer pads are in place on the top
of the pedestal. These pads are factory-installed to reduce
vibration between the pedestal and the washer or dryer.
2.
Remove the feet installed on your washer or dryer.
3.
Partially install two of the #12 x 5/8" hex head sheet metal
screws in the lower holes. Leave a space of about 3/8" (1 cm)
between the screw head and the bottom of the washer or
dryer.
4.
Move the pedestal against the washer or dryer bottom. Slide
the pedestal’s keyhole slots over the lower two partially
installed screws.
5.
Position the pedestal toward the front of the washer or dryer
and install the two remaining hex head sheet metal screws.
Do not tighten completely.
