The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the poor 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.
NOTE: Before installing the washer, make
sure that the poor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that
move or slide on the poor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to
poor contact with the poor. See
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS
for more information.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow
the instructions provided with the drip pan and make
sure the leveling feet are adjusted for orm and even
contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to
properly level the machine may result in increased
vibration and noise during operation.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the poor. Rock
the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all
four leveling feet are in orm and even contact with the
poor.
1. Position the washer in its onal location, taking special
care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain
lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
Raise Lower
2. Loosen the locknuts on all four leveling feet with the
wrench until you can adjust the feet (wrench appearance
may vary). Use the wrench to turn the feet clockwise
to raise the washer, and counterclockwise to lower the
washer. Using a level, adjust the feet until the washer is
level from side to side and front to back. Make sure that
all four feet are in orm contact with the poor.
NOTE: If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, the washer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer.
Tighten all 4 lock nuts
securely using the
wrench.
3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front to
back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four lock
nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out of
adjustment during operation. Make sure that all four
leveling feet are in orm contact with the poor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level,
run the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized
load of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER,
select RINSE & SPIN, and press the START/PAUSE
button.
See the following sections for additional information on
cycle selection and operation. Verify that the washer
does not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin
cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling
feet, while the washer is spinning, until the vibrations are
reduced.
Some poor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the
washer from moving on the poor during heavily
unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional
load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can
result from the washer moving out of position. If these
conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below
for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help
prevent the washer from moving during heavy, out of
balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and vibration.
NOTE: Non-skid pads are included in the installation
packet.
