INSTALLATION
Leveling the Washer
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.
Level
1°
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.
Tighten all 4 lock
nuts securely using
the wrench.
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.
WARNING
y
Using the washing machine without leveling,
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
y
If you are installing the washing machine on the
optional pedestal, you must adjust the leveling
feet on the pedestal to level the washing
machine. The washing machine´s leveling feet
should be minimized and turn the locknuts
counterclockwise to secure.
y
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.
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.
