Level the washer

To ensure smooth operation the washer
must be level.

Failure to level the machine can result
in increased water and energy con-
sumption as well as the washer "bang-
ing" in the spin cycle or "walking"
across the floor during use.

Adjust the four leveling feet

The washer is levelled by adjusting the
four feet.

^ Tip the machine slightly and place a

support, such as a block of wood,
underneath it.

,

CAUTION: The washer is heavier

than it looks! When tipping the ma-
chine be careful that it does not slip.
Take care not to injure yourself or
damage any surrounding furniture.

^ Unscrew each of the four feet as

much as necessary by turning both
the foot,

1

, as well as the locking ring,

2

, to the left using a screwdriver.

^ Remove the support and stand the

machine on its feet.

^ Check that the machine stands level.
^ Repeat this procedure until the ma-

chine stands level.

^ Once level, hold the foot,

1

, immobile

with a wrench. At the same time turn
the locking ring,

2

, to the right using

a screwdriver.

,

All four locking rings must be

tight against the bottom of the ma-
chine. In addition, check to see that
the feet were not inadvertently un-
screwed while tightening the rings.
Running a machine that is not level
or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.
