LEVELING THE WASHING MACHINE
The washer tub of your new washing machine spins
at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and
unwanted movement, the floor must be perfectly level
and solid.
• Chec
k that the washing machine is level.
- Check for levelness by rocking the top edges of the
washing machine or placing a level on the washing
machine. The slope beneath the washing machine
must not exceed 1/2", and all four leveling feet must
rest firmly on the floor.

- Push or rock the top edges of the washing
machine gently to make sure that the washing
machine does not rock.
- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to

WARNING
y Using the washing machine without leveling
may cause it to malfunction, producing excess
vibration and noise.
y When stacking the full-size washing machine
on the pedestal washer, use the leveling
feet on the pedestal washer to level both.
The full-size washing machine´s leveling feet
should be minimized and the locknuts turned
counterclockwise to secure them.
y Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine. If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
USING NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery
surface, it may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, lay the non-skid
pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
• Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove foreign objects or
moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads
may slip.
• Adjust the level after placing the washing machine
in the installation area.
• Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the
floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads
under the front legs. If it is hard to place the pads
under the front legs, place them under the back
legs.
