Checking the Level

Levelling the appliance prevents unnecessary noise, vibration and movement. Check whether the appliance is perfectly level after installation.

Adjusting and Levelling the appliance

The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are required when levelling the appliance. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury or death.Position the appliance in the final location and check to make sure it is level.All levelling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push on the corners of the appliance to make sure that it does not rock from corner to corner. Make sure there are no gaps between the front levelling feet and the floor.Use the wrench (packaged with the appliance) to turn the levelling feet.Unscrew the front feet to raise the appliance or screw in the feet to lower it. If unable to level the appliance using only the front feet, install the two rear levelling feet by tipping the appliance. Do not lay the appliance down to install the levelling feet.Raise or lower the appliance using the levelling feet until the appliance is level from side to side and front to back.Make sure that all levelling feet are in firm contact with the floor. If the appliance is used without levelling, it may fall, causing injury, damage, or product malfunction.Adjust the levelling feet only as far as necessary to level the appliance. Extending the levelling feet more than necessary can cause the appliance to vibrate.When the appliance is completely stable and all levelling feet are resting solidly on the floor, tighten the locking nuts a.

Installing on carpeting

Using Anti-Slip Sheets

Anti-slip sheets prevent the appliance from shaking or shifting when opening or closing the door.Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip sheets on the floor.Put the appliance on the anti-slip sheets.Do not attach the adhesive a of anti-slip sheets to the feet of the appliance.Recheck the appliance’s levelness.Push or rock the edges of the appliance gently to make sure that the appliance does not rock.
