WARNING

SCALDING
When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk 

of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when 

pumping out hot suds into a wash basin. 
Do not reach into the hot suds.

NOTICE:  

Appliance damage/damage to textiles

If the end of the drain hose touches the discharge water 

(water drained from washer) it (the discharge water) can 

be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the 

appliance or textiles. 

Make sure that:

▯

There is no stopper in the sink drain.

▯

The end of the hose does not touch the discharge 

water.

▯

The sink drain is free flowing and not partially 

clogged.

Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.

NOTICE:  

In any multi-story installation, the washer 

should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water 

damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.

Leveling the washer

Importance of leveling the washer

Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water 

at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your 

washer is level and that all four washer feet press with 

equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the 

quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer.

Follow these steps:

1.

Install the washer on a level and solid surface, 

preferably in a corner of a room.

2.

If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet 

as required to level the washer. Do not place anything 

under the washer feet to help level the washer.

3.

Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The 

more the feet are extended, the more vibration the 

washer will experience. Start with the washer feet 

turned all the way in and adjust each foot as 

necessary.

4.

Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to 

make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.

5.

Press down on each corner of the washer top to make 

sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no 

"give" or movement. All four washer feet should press 

equally against the floor. This is just as important as 

the washer being level to prevent vibration.

6.

When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock 

the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts 

against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without 

changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while 

tightening the locknut).

Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:

1.

After determining which washer feet need to be 

extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly 

to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.

2.

Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far 

as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the 

correct amount to level the washer.

3.

When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm 

open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the 

washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the 

bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.
