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.

Open the pedestal drawer as far as possible and remove the contents. The package contains four #12 x 5/8" hex-head sheet metal screws, four leveling feet, and a drawer divider.

2. Locate spacer pads

The four spacer pads are installed on the top of the pedestal. These pads reduce vibration between the pedestal and the washer/dryer.

NOTE: If your washer/dryer has feet installed, remove them. Do not install the feet that came with the new washer/dryer.

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 that you will have

enough space for the installation.

Uninstalling your electric dryer

1. Unplug the power supply cord or disconnect wiring if dryer is

direct wired.

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 you will have enough

space for the installation.

Installation of new washer/dryer

1. Unpack the washer/dryer and move close to the intended

installation location.

Pedestal box

To avoid oor damage and ease installation and handling, unfold the empty pedestal box at and place it next to the washer. Position the drawer divider so that it will be near the top of the washer, as shown. Gently tip the washer on its side so the washer is resting on the drawer divider.

2. Prepare the washer

Washer bottom

Locate the leveling feet in the package removed from the pedestal drawer. Thread a jam nut onto each foot so that the nut is 1" (25 mm) above the foot base. Thread the feet into the threaded holes located at each corner of the pedestal, until the jam nuts touch the bottom of the pedestal.

NOTE: Do not tighten the jam nuts at this time.

4. Attach pedestal to washer

Move the pedestal against the washer bottom. The front of the pedestal cabinet should align with the washer cabinet as shown below.

Slide the pedestal’s keyhole slots over the lower two partially installed screws.

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

NOTE: If your washer has leveling feet installed, remove them. Do not install the feet that came with the new washer.
