IMPORTANT: Read and follow these instructions.

NOTICE

The installer must have electrical and mechanical training and acceptable knowledge in the required work.

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.

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.

ENGLISH

A stacked washer/dryer pair should never be mounted on a pedestal.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading 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 top-loaders, 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.

Included Accessories

18 Mounting screws -

4 T-clip Drawer Divied

Tools Needed

Size: 4 X 20 mm

Level the pedestal on the clean area by adjusting the feet.

Lock nut

Adjustable feet

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.

Leg Extension

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.

Position the washer or dryer on top of the pedestal. 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.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION

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.

for dryer for washer

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.

WASHER INSTALLATION

(See page 4 for dryer instructions.)

Level the washer on the pedestal by adjusting the feet.

Lock nut

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.

Adjustable feet

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 each corner to securely attach the appliance to the pedestal.

NOTE: If the screws are not installed properly, noise and vibration may result.

Lock nut

Adjustable feet

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 (3 kg) of laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select RINSE & SPIN or EXPRESS WASH cycle, and then press the START/PAUSE button. 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.

ENGLISH

Insert the T-clip of the 4 retainers into the dryer base as shown. Press up on the back of the clip and pull outward to lock into place.
