5. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently

damage the mbber leveling legs when moving your
washer to its final location. Damaged legs can increase
washer vibiation. It may be heljrful to spray window'
cleaner on the floor to help move your w'asher into its
final position. NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that
all four mbber leveling legs are finnly touching the
floor. Push and pull on the back right and then back
left of your washer.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift
the washer.
NOTE: If you are insfcilling into a drain pan, you can
use a 24-inch long 2x4 to lever the washer into jjlace.
6. With the washer in its
final position, place a
level on top of the
washer (if the washer
is installed under a
counter, the washer
should not be able to
rock). Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is
resting solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up
towards the base of the washer and snug with a
wrench.
NOTE: Keejj the leg extension at a minimum to
prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the
legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.
If the floor is not level or is damaged, v'ou mav’ have
to extend the rear leveling legs.
