Installing the Washing Machine

Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:

•  A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)

•  Away from direct sunlight.

•  Adequate ventilation 

•  Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C

•  Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas

Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.

Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is 

installed on a carpeted floor.

Adjusting the leveling feet

If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet  

(do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects 

under the feet):

1. 

Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your 

hand until it is at the desired height.

2. 

Tighten the locking nut by turning it with a (-) 
screwdriver.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, 

noise or vibration occurs. 

(Only a l degrees angle is allowed.)

Removing the shipping bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must 

remove the four shipping bolts from the back of the 
unit. To remove the bolts:

1. 

Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench 

before removing them.

2. 

Take each bolt head and pull it through the 

wide part of the hole.  

Repeat for each bolt.

3. 

Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. 

Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
