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
surface. 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
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
more
the
feet
"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
are
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.
