16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling the Washing machine
The washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,100 RPM.
NOTE
y Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to
level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than
necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
y All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock
the washer gently from corner to corner to make sure
that the washer does not rock.
y Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the
washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can
move or side on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
1 Position the washer in the final location,
taking special care to not pinch, strain, or crush the water
and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
2 Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the
washer or counterclockwise to lower it.
Raise Lower
3 To make sure that the washer is properly level, open
the lid and look from above to see if it is same as shown
below. If you have a level, check your washer with the
level.
• To check if the washer is level side to side, close the lid
and place a level at the back of the lid.
• To check if the washer is level front to back, place a level at
the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side
meets the top cover.

If the washer is not level, adjust the leveling feet. Turn
clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower.
4 Check the washing machine’s level again.
- Push or rock the top edges of the washing machine
gently to make sure that the washing machine does not
rock.
- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to 3.
WARNING
y Using the washing machine without leveling, it may
result in malfunction caused by the production of
excess vibration and noise.
y Use the leveling feet only when you level the washing
machine. If you raise the leveling feet unnecessarily, it
may cause abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
