16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling the washing machine
The washer tub of your new washing machine spins at very
high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be perfectly level and solid.
1 Check the washing machine’s level.
- Check the precise level by rocking the top edges of
the washing machine or placing a level on the washing
machine. The slope beneath the washing machine must
not exceed 1°, and all four leveling feet must rest firmly
on the floor.

2 Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the
washing machine.

3 Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them
when the washing machine is level.
Tighten all 4 lock
nuts securely using
the wrench.
4 Check the washing machine’s level again.
- Push or rock the top edges of the washing machine
gently to make sure that the washing machine does not
rock.
- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps 1 to 3.
WARNING
Using the washing machine without leveling, it may y
result in malfunction caused by the production of
excess vibration and noise.
If you are installing the washing machine on the
y
optional pedestal, you must adjust the leveling feet
on the pedestal to level the washing machine. The
washing machine´s leveling feet should be minimized
and turn the locknuts counterclockwise to secure.
Use the leveling feet only when you level the washing
y
machine. If you raise the leveling feet unnecessarily, it
may cause abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
Using non-skid pads (optional)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery surface, it
may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling
may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. In the
event of this, lay the non-skid pads under the leveling feet
and adjust the level.
1 Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or
moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may
slip.
2 Adjust the level after placing the washing machine in the
installation area.
3 Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the
front legs. If it is hard to place the pads under the front
legs, place them under the back legs.
