16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Leveling the washing machine

The washer tub of your new washing machine spins at very

high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be perfectly level and solid.

1 Check the washing machine's level.

- Check the precise level by rocking the top edges of

the washing machine or placing a level on the washing

machine. The slope beneath the washing machine must
not exceed 1°, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly

on the floor.

Level

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-------------------------------

Using the washing machine without leveling, it may
result in malfunction caused by the production of
excess vibration and noise.
If you are installing the washing machine on the

optional pedestal, you must adjust the leveling feet
on the pedestal to level the washing machine. The
washing machine's leveling feet should be minimized
and turn the locknuts counterclockwise to secure.

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.

2 Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the

washing machine.

- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises the

washing machine.

Raise

3 Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them

when the washing machine is level.

Tighten all 4 lock

nuts securely using

the wrench.

Using non-skid pads (optional)

If you install the washing machine on a slippery surface, it

may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling
may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. In the
event of this, lay the non-skid pads under the leveling feet
and adjust the level.

1 Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.

- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or

moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may

slip.

2 Adjust the level after placing the washing machine in the

installation area.

3 Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor.

- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the

front legs. If it is hard to place the pads under the front

legs, place them under the back legs.
