Prepare Appliance For Mounting

1. If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip to step 4.
2. If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical and gas connections and exhaust venting. On models with Steam Option, turn off cold water supply and disconnect water supply hose to dryer.
3. If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electrical connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and disconnect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply outlets. Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe.
4. Protect floor and unit with cardboard or rug and carefully lay the appliance on its LEFT and screw each leg completely into the base.

CAUTION
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move or lift the appliance.

NOTE
Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on pedestals, some side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration can be minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly, including being level and solid on all four (4) legs by following these directions.

IMPORTANT
If feet are not completely screwed in, mounting holes in appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.

IMPORTANT

Prepare Pedestal Before Mounting

1. Locate pedestal to within a few inches of its final location.
2. Level the pedestal front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting each leveling leg. Keep leg extension to a minimum.
3. Rock the pedestal from corner-to-corner to check for stability. Repeat leveling and rocking until all four (4) feet are sturdy on the floor and pedestal is level.
4. Without turning the rubber foot, lock each pedestal leg in place by tightening its lock nut tight against the pedestal base.

NOTE
Allow for approximately 5 in. (12.5 cm) behind the pedestal for clearance of back of washer or dryer to the wall. Allow an additional 3/4 in. (2 cm) for water inlet on Steam Model Dryers and additional space if venting dryer upward or downward.

Attach Mounting Brackets

Attach front mounting brackets

• Attach each front bracket to front two holes with 2 screws. Attach the rear brackets to the area shown below, inserting tab A into the long center slot.

Attach rear mounting brackets

Each rear bracket has tabs marked “A” and “B” and 2 arrows indicating bracket direction when mounted on the pedestal.

1. Determine your appliance type (washer or dryer).

Attach Pedestal to Appliance

1. Turn pedestal on its LEFT side to match orientation to appliance.
2. Slide pedestal up to appliance and line up holes in mounting brackets with holes in appliance base.
3. Attach rear and front brackets to appliance base with supplied screws into aligning holes – one in each front bracket and two in each rear bracket.
4. Using more than one person, carefully return appliance and pedestal to upright position.
5. After retuning appliance upright, loosen each mounting screw going into appliance base. Allow the appliance to settle in the brackets and retighten each mounting screw.
