13. Tilt washer forward raising
back legs 1 inch (25 mm) off of floor.
To adjust rear self-leveling legs, gently

the front legs up or down. Make final
check with level.
When washer is level, use wrench
to turn nuts on front legs up tightly
against washer base. If nuts are not
tight against washer base, the washer
may vibrate.

your tools. Check that the shipping
strap was removed from the back of
the washer and used to secure the
drain hose.
If entire strap is not removed, washer
may vibrate and be noisy.

testing, the timer is advanced partially
into the cycle causing the start button
to be depressed. Allow timer to
advance to the end of the cycle.
When the cycle is complete, the timer
will reset and the start button will
return to the start position. If the timer
is not allowed to advance to the end
of the first cycle and reset, the wash
load will not be completed.
