G. LEVEL WASHER

Benefit
Leveling your washer properly pre­
vents excessive noise and vibration.
To install front legs:
STEP 1. Prop front of washer up (about
4 inches). Use a wood block or another
object that will support the weight of the
washer. If washer was placed against
a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping it up.
STEP 2. With one of the legs in hand,
screw lock nut onto leg % inch from top
of leg base. This is the recommended
initial setting.
STEP 3. Screw leg into washer base by
hand until nut reaches washer base.
Repeat for other leg.
STEP 4. Tilt washer backward until
front of washer is off the wood block.
Remove wood block. Gently lower
washer to floor.
STEP 5. Move washer to its final
location.
STEP 6. Tilt washer forward until rear
of washer is at least 3 inches off floor.
You may hear the self-adjusting rear
legs click into place. Lower washer to
floor. Check levelness of the washer
by placing a level on top of the washer,
first side-to-side; then front-to-back.
STEP 7. If washer is not level, prop
up the front of the washer and adjust
the legs up or down as necessary. Lower
washer and reset self-adjusting rear legs
(as in Step 6). Repeat Step 7 until
the washer is level.
STEP 8. When washer is in its final
location and level, use a ®/i6-inch open-
end wrench to turn nuts on front legs
tightly against washer cabinet. If nuts
are not tight against washer cabinet,
the washer may vibrate.
