After the washer is leveled, tighten the lock nuts up
toward the base of the washer using the wrench. All
four lock nuts should be tightened.
Safety is foremost---both your own and that of other people.
Many important safety instructions are provided in this
instruction and your appliance. Always read and observe all
safety instructions.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a frontloading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wooden
and /or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders have substantially faster spin speed than toploaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid,
your washer will vibrate.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow
the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure
the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the
machine may result in increased vibration and noise during
operation.
NOTICE
The installer must have electrical and mechanical
training and acceptable knowledge in the required
work.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people may be needed to install and
move the appliance and pedestal assembly.
Do not allow children to play on the drawer.
Do not step on the handle.
A stacked washer/dryer pair should never be mounted
on a pedestal.
Remove pedestal, installation hardware, and
instructions from the shipping carton.
Before installing the pedestal, clean the area where
the laundry will be located. Make sure the floor is
clean and free of foreign objects. Dust, water, oil,
detergent and so on could cause vibration due to
bad contact of legs with floor.
Level the pedestal on the clean area by adjusting the
feet.
Position the washer or dryer on top of the pedestal.
NOTE: Do not extend the legs no more than necessary
to level the pedestal. The more the legs are extended,
the more the machines will vibrate.
NOTE: Because of the weight of the machines, two or
more people may be needed.
NOTE: If the washer was previously installed, unplug it,
disconnect the inlet hoses and drain hose. Drain the
water from the hoses.
NOTE: The legs on the washer and dryer are not the
same, so the recesses in the brackets on top of the
pedestal are elongated. See the drawing above to
identify the different locations for the washer and dryer
legs. If the legs are not in the proper locations, the
machine will not align properly and cannot be anchored
to the pedestal.

Level the washer on the pedestal by adjusting the
feet.
(See page 4 for dryer instructions.)
Move the washer to the desired place.
NOTE: The appliance and pedestal assembly must be
placed on a solid and level floor for proper operation.
Adjust the legs of the appliance and pedestal by turning
with a wrench. Then, tighten the lock nut against the
base of the pedestal with the wrench while holding the
leg to make sure it does not turn.
NOTE: Diagonal Check
Once the pedestal feet are adjusted,
rock the washer very firmly in a
diagonal direction. If one direction
moves more than the other, readjust
the front feet until both directions are
even.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer
is properly level, run the washer with a
test load: place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in
the machine. Then press POWER, press RINSE & SPIN,
and then press the START/PAUSE button.(If the washer does
not have the RINSE & SPIN, press EXPRESS WASH instead
of pressing RINSE & SPIN.) Verify that the washer does not
rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the washer
vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet while the washer is
spinning to minimize the vibration.

WASHER INSTALLATION
Check the alignment of the washer with the pedestal.
Make sure the washer base brackets align with the
brackets on the pedestal, then install 4 screws at
