Leveling the washing machine
The washer tub of your new washing machine
spins at very high speeds. To minimize
vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the
floor must be perfectly level and solid.
1
Check the washing machine’s level.
- Check the precise level by rocking the top
edges of the washing machine or placing
a level on the washing machine. The slope
beneath the washing machine must not
exceed 1°, and all four leveling feet must
rest firmly on the floor.
2
Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to
level the washing machine.
- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise
raises the washing machine.
3
Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and
tighten them when the washing machine is
level.
4
Check the washing machine’s level again.
- Push or rock the top edges of the washing
machine gently to make sure that the
washing machine does not rock.
- If the washing machine rocks, repeat steps
1 to 3.
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. In the
event of this, lay the non-skid pads under the
leveling feet and adjust the level.
1
Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects or moisture. If moisture remains,
the non-skid pads may slip.
2
Adjust the level after placing the washing
machine in the installation area.
3
Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad
on the floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid
pads under the front legs. If it is hard to
place the pads under the front legs, place
them under the back legs.
4
Check the washing machine’s level again.
- Push or rock the top edges of the washing
machine gently to make sure that the
washing machine does not rock. If the
washing machine rocks, level the washing
machine again.

• Make sure that the hose is not twisted.
• Do not submerge the end of the hose.
WARNING
• Using the washing machine without
leveling, it may result in malfunction caused
by the production of excess vibration and
noise.
• Use the leveling feet only when you level
the washing machine. If you raise the
leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause
abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
