Prepare appliance for mounting
NOTE
Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on pedestals, some
side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration can be
minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly, including being
level and solid on all four (4) legs by following these directions.
1.
If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip
to step 4.
2.
If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical
and gas connections and exhaust venting. On models with
Steam Option, turn off cold water supply and disconnect wa-
ter supply hose to dryer.
3.
If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electri-
cal connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and dis-
connect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply
outlets. Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe.
4.
Protect fl oor and unit with cardboard or rug and carefully lay
the appliance on its side and screw each leg completely into
the base.

DO NOT use open dispenser drawer of washer or dispenser
cavity as hand-hold location when tipping washer on its side.
Serious damage could occur to your washer.

If feet are not completely screwed in, mounting holes in
appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.

Rock the pedestal from corner-to-corner to check for stability.
Repeat leveling and rocking until all four (4) feet are sturdy on
the fl oor and pedestal is level.
