INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLING PEDESTAL

IMPORTANT: If your washer and dryer are already installed,

they must be uninstalled.

Uninstalling your washer

To avoid possible damage to the washer, the transport bolts on the back of the washer must be in place before installing the pedestal. For more information on transport bolts, see “Remove Transport System” in washer Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation by a certied technician.

1. Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.

2. Unplug the power supply cord.

3. Slowly loosen the ll hoses at the faucets to relieve the water

pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water.

4. Remove the “HOT” and “COLD” ll hoses from the back of the

washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket.

5. Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or laundry tub

and drain any water remaining in the hose into a bucket.

6. Pull the washer away from the wall so it can be tipped on its

back.

7. To avoid oor damage and ease installation and handling,

unfold the empty pedestal box at and place it next to the washer. Lay the washer on its back (make sure that the power supply cord is not under the washer) so that the cardboard is under the entire lower back edge of the washer.

8. An additional small amount of water will drain out of the

washer when it is tipped back. Go to “Installing the Pedestal”.

Uninstalling your gas dryer

1. Unplug the power supply cord.

2. Turn off the gas supply.

3. Pull the dryer away from the wall enough to loosen the vent

clamp. Loosen the clamp and gently remove the exhaust vent from the dryer exhaust outlet.

4. Disconnect the exible gas supply line from the dryer. Put a

piece of tape over the open ends of the gas line connection ttings.

5. Pull the dryer away from the wall so that it can be tipped on

its back.

6. To avoid oor damage and ease installation and handling,

unfold the empty pedestal box at and place it next to the dryer. Lay the dryer on its back (make sure that the power supply cord is not under the dryer) so that the cardboard is under the entire lower back edge of the dryer. Go to “Installing the Pedestal”.

Installation of new washer/dryer

If your washer/dryer is still in the packaging:

1. Unpacking Washer/Dryer

Uninstalling your electric dryer

1. Unplug the power supply cord.

2. Pull the dryer away from the wall enough to loosen the vent

clamp. Loosen the clamp and gently remove the exhaust vent from the dryer exhaust outlet.

3. Pull the dryer away from the wall so that it can be tipped on

its back.

4. To avoid oor damage and ease installation and handling,

Base

2. Washer transport bolts

2. Prepare the washer/dryer

Locate the transport bolts on rear of washer. Transport bolts must remain in washer while pedestal is installed. When laying the washer on its back, hold the base down on the oor. Do not remove the plastic lm, corner posts, or top cap.

INSTALLING THE PEDESTAL

Follow these instructions to install the pedestal on a washer or dryer.

1. Locate spacer pads

Washer Bottom

Partially install two of the #12 x 5/8" hex-head sheet metal screws in the lower holes. Leave a space of about 3/8" (10 mm) between the screw head and the bottom of the washer/dryer.

Dryer Bottom

3. Attach the pedestal

Move the pedestal against the washer/dryer bottom. Slide the pedestal’s keyhole slots over the lower two partially installed screws.

Make sure that all four spacer pads are in place on the top of the pedestal. Spacer pads reduce vibration between the pedestal and the washer/dryer.

NOTE: If your washer/dryer has feet installed, remove them.

4. Secure the pedestal

Position the pedestal toward the front of the washer/dryer and install the two remaining hex-head sheet metal screws. Do not tighten completely.

5. Align sides of pedestal

(25 mm)

Align the sides of the pedestal so that they are even with the sides of the washer/dryer. Reach inside the pedestal opening and securely tighten all four pedestal screws.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

8. Move close to nal location

6. Prepare pedestal feet

The pedestal arrives with the feet tight against the bottom of the unit. Using a 1/4" hex-head ratchet or open-end wrench, lower the feet approximately 1" (25 mm) away from the bottom of the pedestal.

7. Stand the washer/dryer upright

Follow the installation instructions that came with your model to nish installing or reinstalling your washer/dryer (i.e., hoses, vents, etc.).

NOTE: Be sure to remove the transport bolts from the back of the washer.

9. Check levelness

of washer/dryer

Place level here

Place a level on top edges of washer/dryer, checking each side and front. Rock washer/dryer back and forth to make sure all four feet make solid contact with oor.

Tip the washer/dryer back to its upright position. Remove and discard any remaining packaging material.

Not Level

If not level, adjust pedestal feet up or down, repeating as necessary.
