[Overview]

To reduce vibration and noise, leveling unit must be done before starting to use.

[Solution]

Why you have to level your washer:

• Leveling the washing machine is critical for proper operation.

• A tilted washing machine can cause many problems including vibrations, noise and detergent drawer residue.

How to level your washer:

The easiest way to begin the leveling process is as follows:

• Loose the jam nuts.

• Screw the washer legs all the way up in the washing machine chassis.

How to check if your washer is properly leveled:

• Slide or walk your washer into position.

• Try rocking the washer back and forth, and left to right. If the washer rocks, unscrew the appropriate leg until the leg makes contact with the floor. Then, the washer will not rock.

 

• Place a torpedo level on the top of the washer. It does not matter whether you rock the product back to forth first, or left to right first.

• Level your Washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as necessary. When your Washer is level, tighten the jamb nuts.

How to install the washer on a carpet or soft floors:

1. If you install your washer on a carpet or other soft floors, you should place the rubber cups under the adjustable leg.

3. If the washer is on the pedestal, the rubber cup should be placed underneath the pedestal's legs.

How to revel your washing machine by using a pedestal:

1. If you are using a pedestal, place the pedestal in the location where the washer will be installed.

2. Level the pedestal by using the same procedure as that of the Washer/Dryer.

3. Attach the pedestal to the washer, and move the pedestal/washer assembly to the desired location.

5. If necessary, re-level the pedestal/washer assembly in its desired location.
