NOTE

Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on pedestals, some side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration can be minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly, including being level and solid on all four (4) legs by following these directions.

A) Preparing washer or dryer for mounting on pedestal

1.If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip to step 4.

2.If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical and gas connections and exhaust venting. On models with Steam Option, turn off cold water supply and disconnect water supply hose to dryer.

3.If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electrical connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and disconnect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply outlets. Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe.

4.Protect floor with cardboard or other covering. Using two or more persons, carefully tip the washer or dryer onto its back. Take care not to damage hoses and/or electrical cords as you lay the unit back.

CAUTION

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move or lift the washer or dryer.

5.Remove all four (4) adjustable leveling legs from the appliance base and save for future use.

NOTE

If leveling legs are not removed, mounting holes in appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.

6. Carefully return appliance to upright position.

B) Preparing pedestal before mounting washer or dryer

1. Locate pedestal to within a few inches of its final location.

DO NOT remove foam!

NOTE

Allow for approximately 5 in. (12.5 cm) behind the pedestal for clearance of back of washer or dryer to the wall. Allow an additional 3/4 in. (2 cm) for water inlet on Steam Model Dryers and additional space if venting dryer upward or downward.

2.Level the pedestal front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting each leveling leg. Keep leg extension to a minimum.

3.Rock the pedestal from corner-to-corner to check for stability. Repeat leveling and rocking until all four (4) feet are sturdy on the floor and pedestal is level.

4.Without turning the rubber foot, lock each pedestal leg in place by tightening its lock nut tight against the pedestal base.

C) Attaching mounting hardware

1. Attach each front clip to outer-most set of holes with 2 screws.

D) Mounting washer or dryer

CAUTION

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move or lift the washer or dryer.

TIP DOWN

2.Adjust the appliance side-to-side to align its mounting holes with the pedestal’s bracket holes.

3.Install 2 screws through each rear bracket into the base of the washer (image D3a) or dryer (image D3b).

E)Installing or re-installing washer or dryer

1.Slide appliance/pedestal into place.

2.Check for levelness and rock all four (4) legs again. Repeat until level and solid.

3.Refer to Washer or Dryer Installation Instructions for complete details on installing water, drain, electrical, gas, or exhaust venting.
