LEVELING
THE WASHER
The
tub
of your
new
washer
spins
at very
high
speeds.
To minimize
vibration,
noise,
and
move-
ment,
the floor
must be a level, solid surface.
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
floor
is clean,
dry and free
of dust,
dirt, water
and oil so the
washer
feet
cannot
slide
easily.
Leveling
feet that move
or slide on the floor
can
contribute
to excessive
vibration
and noise
due
to poor contact
with
the floor.
All four
leveling
feet
must
rest solidly
on the floor.
Attempt
to rock the washer
from
corner
to corner
to make
sure
that all four
leveling
feet
are in firm
contact
with
the floor.
1. Position
the washer
in its final location,
taking spe-
cial care
not to pinch,
strain,
or crush
the
water
and drain lines.
Place a level across
the top of the
washer.

faces will result
in the washer
being
unlevel.

itmay resultin malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
