INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELING THE WASHER
The tub of your new washer spins at very high
speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and move-
ment, the floor must be a level, solid surface.
NOTE:
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the washer to
vibrate.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Leveling feet that move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excessive vibration and noise due
to poor contact with the floor.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor.
Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner
to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor.
1. Position the washer in its final location, taking spe-
cial care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water
and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the
washer.
2. Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise
the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.
3. To make sure that the washer is properly level,
open the lid and look from above to see if the tub
is centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown
in the drawing with the X through it), readjust the
front feet. If you have a level, check your washer
with the level.
y To check if the washer is level from side to side,
place a level on the back edge of the lid.
y To check if the washer is level front to back, place
a level at the side of the washer on the edge where
the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place
the level on the top of the lid. Using these sur-
faces will result in the washer being unlevel.

Front to Back
y
Using the washing machine without leveling
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
y
Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine.
If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
WARNING
NOTE:
• If the washer’s level is not even, the lid may be
automatically closed when it is open. If such
case occurs, raise the front leg to adjust the level
of the washer to be even.
