Levelling the washing machine

● Using a level facilitates the adjustment.

● When adjusting the washing machine to make it level, ensure all four stands are

supporting it:

Lock nut

Stand

On each stand, loosen the lock nut by

turning it clockwise using the A end of

the spanner supplied.

Adjust all four stands in this way.

Use a spirit level to ensure the

washing machine is standing

correctly.

Tighten each lock nut by turning it

anti-clockwise (towards the washing

machine body), again using the A end

of the spanner supplied.

Ensure all four lock nuts are

tightened securely. Check

the stands are still bolted

to the washing machine

– if they’re unbolted, the

washing machine will move

around.

● To adjust the stands, use A side of the included spanner.
