Levelling
Level the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect levelling may result in intense
noise, vibrations and "wandering".
1.
Loosen the lock nuts using a
wrench, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2.
Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
3.
Tighten the lock nut against the
housing.
In doing so, hold the foot tight and
do not adjust its height.
The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing.
