Level All-In-One Washer & Dryer

IMPORTANT: Leveling your machine properly reduces excess

noise and vibration.

Check levelness of machine

Remove cardboard from beneath machine. Place a level on top

edges of machine, checking each side and front. If not level, tip

machine and adjust feet up or down as shown in "Adjust leveling

feet" and "Tighten leveling feet", repeating as necessary.

Rock machine to test foot contact

Grip machine from top and rock back and forth, making sure all

four feet are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking machine from side to

side. If machine rocks, adjust leveling feet. If all four feet are in

firm contact with floor, tighten leveling feet.

Adjust leveling feet

If machine is not level, use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end or

adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are

about 1/2" (13 mm) from the machine cabinet. Then turn the

leveling foot clockwise to lower the machine or counterclockwise

to raise the machine. Do not exceed 2" (50 mm) from bottom of

foot to bottom of cabinet. Recheck levelness of machine and that

all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of machine about

4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support

weight of machine.

Tighten leveling feet

When machine is level and all four feet are firmly in contact with

the floor, use a 9/16" (14 mm) open-end or adjustable wrench to

turn jam nuts counterclockwise on leveling feet tightly against

machine cabinet.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop machine with wooden

block.
