Leveling the machine
To ensure smooth operation, it is
es-
sential
that the machine is level.
Failure to level the machine can result
in the machine “banging” in the spin
cycle or “walking” across the floor dur-
ing operation. Energy and water use
will also increase.
Adjust the four leveling feet as fol-
lows:
^
Tip the machine slightly and place a
support, such as a block of wood,
underneath it.
BEWARE : The washing machine is
heavier than it looks! When tipping
the machine, be careful that it does
not slip or slide along the floor. Take
care not to injure yourself or dam-
age any surrounding furniture.
^
Unscrew each of the four feet as
much as necessary by turning both
the foot
1
as well as the locking ring
2
to the left using a screwdriver (see il-
lustration).
^
Remove the supports, stand the ma-
chine on its feet and check to see if it
is level.
Repeat this procedure as often as nec-
essary until the machine stands level.
^
Once level, hold the foot
1
immobile
using a wrench while turning the
locking ring
2
to the right using a
screwdriver. Turn each locking ring
until it is tight against the bottom of
the machine frame.
All four locking rings must be tight
against the bottom of the machine.
In addition, check to see that the
feet were not inadvertently un-
screwed while tightening the rings.
Running a machine that is not level
or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.
