Steps in Final Location
1. Slide the washer to final location.
2. Tilt the washer forward until the rear of the washer is at least
4" (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-adjusting rear
feet click into place. Lower the washer to the floor.
3. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the
top edges of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
4. If the washer is not level, move the washer out slightly, tip
back, prop up the front of the washer with the wood block and
adjust the feet up or down as necessary by twisting the foot.
Turn the foot clockwise to raise the washer or
counterclockwise to lower the washer. Repeat steps
1 through 4 until washer is level.
5. After the washer is in the final location and level, use a ⁹⁄₁₆" or
14 mm open-end wrench to turn the nuts counterclockwise on
the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: If the nuts are not tight against the washer
cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
