CAUTION
•  The ventilating openings in the base area must not be obstructed by carpeting.
•  Install the washing machine on a level and firm surface, and tilt should be less than 1˚
•  Wooden floors may need reinforcing to prevent the normal vibration which occurs with an 
unbalanced load.
•  Do not install the washer on an inclined floor. 
Improper installation of the washer may cause noise and malfunctioning.
1
Installation area

 surface.

unsuitable floor, it could make 
considerable noise and vibrate.

Checking level
•   
Open the lid, check if the washer is 
correctly leveled by looking down 
from the top. If a gap is seen 
between the tub and drum, the 
washer is not level. 
Right
Wrong
No shims. It would be dangerous. If the 
floor is that far from being level, it is a floor 
problem and not a washer problem. 
Set Leveling feet
•  
Adjust the leveling feet, Turn clockwise 
to raise the washer or 
counterclockwise to lower it.
Checking slope
•  
If installation surface is tilted, the 
washer will vibrate. Do not install 
on a sloping floor.
