2LEVELINGLEGS
Level and stabilizing gour appliance
1.Carefully move the appliance to its final location. Gently rock
the appliance into position. It is important not to damage
the rubber leveling legswhen moving your appliance to
its final location. Damaged legs can increase appliance
vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the
floor to help move your appliance to its final position.
Note: Do not use washer cover to lift the unit.
2.Toensure the appliance islevel and solid on all four legs,
tilt the appliance forward so the rear legs are off the
ground. Gently set the appliance back down to allow the
rear legs to self adjust.
3.With the appliance in its final position, place a level on top
of back part of the washer lid and check it side to side,
then check front to back. Screw the front leveling legs up
or down to ensure the appliance is resting solid on all four
legs (no rocking or the appliance should exist), turn the
lock nuts on each leg up toward the base of the unit and
snug with a wrench.
Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. Thefarther out legs are extended, the
more the unit will vibrate.
