16 INSTALLATION
Leveling the Washer
The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the oor must be a level, solid surface.
The slope beneath the washer should not exceed
1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest rmly on
the oor.
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
oor 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 oor can contribute to
excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the oor.
1
Position the washer in its nal location.
Take special care not to pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain lines. If you have a
carpenter's level, you can place it across the top
of the washer.

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, repeat steps 1-3.
CAUTION
• Using the washer without leveling it may cause
excess vibration and noise, leading to a machine
malfunction.
• Extend the leveling feet only to level the washer.
If you extend the leveling feet unnecessarily, it
may cause abnormal vibration of the washer.
