16 INSTALLATION

leveling the stYLER

Warning

yy To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long-sleeved gloves and safety glasses.

Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury or death.

yy The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are required when installing the Styler. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury or death.

yy To ensure that the Styler provides optimal performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

Note

Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the Styler. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the Styler to vibrate.

1Position the Styler in the final location. Check to make sure it is level. If installing on carpet, see Installing on Carpeting first.

yy All leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push on the corners of the Styler to make sure that it does not rock from corner to corner. Make sure there are no gaps between the front leveling feet and the floor.

Warning

yyThe Styler is heavy. Use two or more people if installing the rear leveling feet.

Failure to do so can result in back injury or other injury.

yyKeep the Styler upright when moving and installing it. If you lay the Styler on its side, refrigerant may leak and cause the appliance to malfunction.

2Use the wrench (packaged with the manual) to turn the leveling feet.

Unscrew the front feet to raise the Styler or screw in the feet to lower it. If unable to level the unit using only the front feet, install the two rear leveling feet by tipping the unit. Do not lay the unit down to install the leveling feet.

Raise or lower the unit using the leveling feet until the Styler is level from side to side and front to back.

CAUTION

Make sure that all leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor. If the

Styler is used without leveling, it may fall, causing injury, damage, or product malfunction.

3When the Styler is completely stable and all leveling feet are resting solidly on the floor, tighten the locking nuts.
