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.
• 
If the washer is installed on an
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. 
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
• 
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.
