Leveling the Appliance
Importance of leveling the appliance
The appliance uses high spin speeds to remove water
at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that the
appliance is level and that the appliance feet press
with equal pressure against the floor. This will help
assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of the
appliance.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the appliance on a level and solid surfaces.
Preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level), adjust the
appliance feet as required to level the appliance.
Do not place anything under the appliance feet to
help level the appliance.
3. Extend the appliance feet no more than is
necessary. The more the feet are extended, the
more vibration the appliance will experience.
Start with the appliance feet turned all the way in
and adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level (no supplied) to check the top
of the appliance to make sure it is level side to side
and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the appliance top to
make sure the appliance doesn’t “wobble”. There
should be no “give” or movement. All the
appliance feet should press equally against the
floor. This is just as important as the appliance
being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the appliance is level and does not wobble,
lock the appliance 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)
Procedure for adjusting the appliance feet:
1. After determining which the appliance feet need
to be extended, have someone lift up on the
appliance slightly to take pressure off the foot to
be adjusted.
2. Turn the appliance foot to extend it downward as
far as necessary to raise the corner of the
appliance the correct amount to level the
appliance.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use the
wrench (supplied) to tighten the locknut against
the appliance bottom to lock the foot in place.
