Existing Appliance -If you are
installing the pedestal	on	an appliance
that has already been in		use, begin with
the •Preparing Your	Existing
Appliance" section immediately
below.
New Appliance If-you		are installing

the pedestal on a new washer or dryer, proceed to the•Preparing Your New Appliance" section on the page following.

Preparing				Your
Existing			Appliance
1. Pull the appliance away from the
wall		so it	can be positioned on				its
left		side.
Step	2 below			applies	to	washers
For	dryers		go	directly	to	step	3

q Remove the four transportation bolt hole covers on the back of the washer. (1) Push the tab inward with your thumb while

(2) sliding the cover in the direction of the two vertical slots in the plastic cover (see

Figure 3).

NOTICE

Make sure the washer transportation bolts are reinstalled prior to pedestal installation to prevent potential damage to the washer drum.

iYour washer was originally

shipped with four transportation bolts installed to protect the drum during transit. The washer installation instructions required these bolts to be removed during the original setup. The transportation bolts must now be reinstalled prior to pedestal installation.

2. To reinstall the transportation bolts:

q Locate the four transportation bolt assemblies originally shipped with your washer (see

Figure 2).

Storing	the transport	bolts
Always	keep the transport bolts for fu^
ture transportation of the appliance
(such as when moving		out).

qStore the transport bolts with the washer and bushing attached.

Leveling	Procedure
1. The appliance should			now be in its
final position, ready for leveling
(moving	the	appliance	after
leveling	can	make it	unlevel again.)

Each foot of the appliance or ped^ estal must be placed firmly on the floor to prevent the appliance from wobbling.

Start with all four feet screwed in as far as possible, then back individual feet out as necessary to level the appliance.Move the feet

as little as possible to help reduce vibration.

2.Use a bubble level (24" or less in

length)			to	check		the	leveling status
of	the		appliance			(be	sure the		level
fits between the edges of the
appliance, and is not elevated									at
one		end on			a	ridge	on	the surface
of	the		appliance.)
q Lay the bubble level across									the
	unit worktop to check the level
	from		side		to	side	and	from	front
	to back.
q A		center-located bubble
	indicates the unit is leveled.
	Otherwise,				repeat		the	leveling
	procedure until the unit is
	leveled.				Tip:	if the bubble			is
	closer to one end, it							indicates
	the high side of the unit. To
	level the unit, either lower the
	higher side or raise the lower
	side.
q After			leveling			the	unit	from	side
	to side,			then		turn	the	level	so
	that it lays on the worktop from
	front		to	back		to check if it is
	level		in	that		direction.

dCAUTION

To avoid risk of injuries -Take care when using the wrench.

q Loosen the lock nut (see

Figure 17, item) by1 turning it clockwise. Use the wrench provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm open end wrench). When you

turn the lock nut, the foot						(see
Figure	17,	item)	2it	is	locked
against will turn with it.					This w

Figure	17
q Turning the foot		out	(clockwise)
will raise the	corner		of the

appliance, turning the foot in (counter-clockwise) will lower the corner of the appliance.

When the corner of the
appliance		is	satisfactorily	raised
or	lowered,		lock the
height-adjustable feet in				place
by	turning	the lock nut

counter-clockwise until it locks tightly against the pedestal housing.

4.Use the supplied 17mm open^end wrench to securely tighten both

d CAUTION

Do not use the drawer as a step.

For problems with or service on your pedestal contactBSH Home Appliances. Contact information is available in theCustomer• Service" section of the appliance manual.

	i	It may be necessary to hold
		the appliance foot with a
		pair of pliers to keep it from
		turning while		tightening	the
		lock nut.	It	the foot	does	Figure 18
		turn, it will change the
		height of	the	corner.
q After making			preliminary
	adjustments,		press down		on

each corner of the appliance to make sure the unit does not wobble. If it does wobble, lower the foot on that corner until the foot touches the floor firmly.

3.For Washers:Fine tune the

leveling by placing a small load of laundry in the machine, starting it in spin cycle and then leveling the appliance again.

i If the test spin cycle is manually

stopped		before	its	completion,
then	the	door	may	remain locked
for	10 seconds.
