LEVELLING THE WASHER
Importance of levelling the washer
The washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that the
washer is level and that the washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the
quietest, most vibration-free use of the washer.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the washer 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 washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not
place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more
vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer 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 washer to make sure it is level side to side
and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn't "wobble". There
should be no "give" or movement. All the washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is
just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer 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 washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer
slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2. Turn the washer foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer
the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use the wrench (supplied) to tighten the locknut against the
washer bottom. The locknut should be tightened against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot
in place.
