Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently
rock the washer into position ensuring inlet hoses do
not become kinked. It is important not to damage the
rubber leveling legs when moving your washer to its final
location. Damaged legs can increase washer vibration. It
may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to
help move your washer into its final position. NOTE:To
reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs
are firmly touching the floor. Pushand pull on the back
right and then back left of your washer.
NOTE:Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer.
NOTE:If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use
a 24-inch long 2x4 to lever the washer into place.
With the washer in its
final position, place
a level on top of the
washer (if the washer
is installed under a
counter, the washer
should not be able to
rock). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down
/
to ensure the washer is resting solid. Turn the lock
nuts on each leg up towards the base of the washer
and snug with a wrench.
NOTE:Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent
excessivevibration. The farther out the legs are extended,
the more the washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have
to extend the rear leveling legs.
