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.

Installation area
•  
Install the washer on a firm, flat
 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. 
Do not use shims to level the washer. It 
will create a hazardous condition. If the 
washer is that far from being level, the 
problem is with the floor rather than with 
the washing machine.
Set Leveling feet
•  
Loosen the locknuts on 2 front leveling 
feet until you can turn the feet with the 
included wrench. 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.
