Steps in Final Location
1. Slide the washer to its 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
feet. Turn the feet 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 its 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.
