WARNING

•  

Incorrect installation can cause serious 

accidents.

•   

The weight of the dryer and the height of 

installation make this stacking procedure too 

risky for one person. Two or more people are 

required when installing the stacking kit. 

There is a risk of serious back injury or other 

injuries.

•  

Do not use the stacking kit with a gas dryer 

in potentially unstable conditions such as a 

mobile home.

 Failure to follow this warning can 

result in serious injury.

•  

Place the washer on a solid, stable, level 

floor capable of supporting the weight of 

both appliances.

 Failure to follow this warning 

can result in serious injury.

•  

Do NOT stack the washer on top of the dryer.

Failure to follow this warning can result in 

serious injury.

•  

If appliances are already installed, 

disconnect them from all power, water, or 

gas lines and from draining or venting 

connections.

 Failure to do so can result in 

electrical shock, fire, explosion, or death.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION 

(cont.)

5

Install 2 screws to securely attach the bracket 

to the pedestal.

Once properly attached, firmly press the top 

part of the bracket with the double-sided 

tape to the side of the appliance. Repeat 

steps 2–4 to attach the other brackets.

NOTE:

 If the brackets are not installed 

properly, noise and vibration may result. Be 

sure to remove paper backing and to use all 

screws to install the brackets.

Move the appliance to the desired location.

3

Make sure the side surface of the appliance 

is clean and dry. Remove paper backing from 

the tape on the bracket.

4

Position the bracket as shown. The bent part 

of the bracket should rest along the edge 

of the pedestal, and the holes in the bottom 

part of the bracket should align with the 

holes in the pedestal.

6

Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet 

of the 

pedestal

 until you can turn them 

with the wrench. Turn clockwise to raise 

or counterclockwise to lower. Once the 

pedestal is level and all 4 feet are solidly 

against the floor, securely tighten all locknuts 

by hand.

NOTE:

 Noise and vibration may result if 

locknuts are not tightened. 

Be sure to connect the appliances to all 

water, power, or gas lines and draining or 

venting connections before operation. 

If there is excessive vibration during the  

first operation after installation, slightly  

adjust the leveling feet.
