NOTE
• 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.
Feet that move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excessive vibration and noise.
How to Level the Washer
1 Position the washer in its final location.
• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain hoses. If you have
a carpenter’s level
a, you can use it to
check that the washer is level. The slope
beneath the washer should not exceed 1
inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly
on the floor.
2 Adjust the leveling feet.
• Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to
raise the washer or the other direction to
lower it.
3 Check the level again.
• Push or rock the top edges of the washer
gently to make sure the washer does not
rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the
leveling feet.
4 Tighten the locknuts b
• Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and
tighten them when the washer is level.
Using Non-Skid Pads
If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it
may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-
skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the
level.
1 Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects or moisture. If moisture remains,
the non-skid pads may slip.
2 Adjust the level after placing the washer in the
installation area.
3 Place the adhesive side c of the non-skid pad
on the floor.
• It is most effective to install the non-skid
pads under the front leveling feet. If it is
hard to place the pads under the front
leveling feet, place them under the back
leveling feet.

4 Recheck the washer’s levelness.
• Push or rock the top edges of the washer
gently to make sure the washer does not
rock. If the washer rocks, level the washer
again.
