Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibratio...
17
Follow these steps:
17
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
17
2. If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
17
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
17
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
17
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to ...
17
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).
17
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
17
1. After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
17
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
17
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibratio...
17
Follow these steps:
17
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
17
2. If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
17
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
17
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
17
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to ...
17
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).
17
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
17
1. After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
17
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
17
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

Normal water pressure from your home, that remains in the supply hoses after turning off the taps, will cause a small amount of water to drip out when you remove the water supply hose from the back of the washer. Be sure to close the taps completely ...

Cleaning the drain pump
39
9 WARNING

risk of scalding

It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if the washer fails to drain (sound of water being pumped from the washer cannot be heard when the washer should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a sink, are draining properly).
39
The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris (a good reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load). Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.
39
To access the washer drain pump, the service cover must first be removed (see steps below). With the service cover removed, proceed as follows:
39
1. If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now. Turn the program selector to the Spin/Drain, select Spin Speed to No Spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few moments to let the cycle drain the water from the drum. If the pump is ...
39
2. Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has to be drained.
39
3. Open and remove the service cover.
39
4. Loosen the screws and remove the protective film.
39
5. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump access opening to drain the remaining water into a suitable container (up to 5.3 U.S. gallons/20 liters of water may be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the hose and lay the hose over the side of ...

6. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A small amount of residual water may flow out when the cover is removed. Clean the interior of the pump housing, removing any debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the impeller wheel at the ...
