Using Non-Skid Pads (Optional)

If you install the washing machine on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

Clean the oor to attach the non-skid pads.

•Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the washing machine

in the installation area.

Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the

oor.

•It is most effective to install the non-skid pads

under the front legs. If it is difcult to place the

pads under the front legs, place them under the back legs.
