INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Removing Shipping Bolts
When removing the washer from the carton base, be
sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of
the carton base.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the base
packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its
side.
Do NOT lay the washer on its front or back.
1
Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts,
use the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four
shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them
slightly while pulling them out.

NOTE
y
Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To
prevent damage to internal components, DO
NOT transport the washer without reinstalling
the shipping bolts.
y
Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers
may cause severe vibration and noise, which
can lead to permanent damage to the washer.
The cord is secured to the back of the washer
with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation
with shipping bolts in place.
NOTE
y
The floor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully
loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor
has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it
to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate
for a top-loading washer may not be rigid
enough for a front loading washer, due to the
difference in the spin speed and direction. If the
floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and
you may hear and feel the vibration throughout
your house.
y
Before installing the washer, make sure the floor
is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils
so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling
feet that can move or slide on the floor can
contribute to excess vibration and noise due to
poor contact with the floor.
y
If a drip pan must be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions provided with the
drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are
adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan.
Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the
machine may result in increased vibration and
noise during operation.
