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.

TURN ON TO LEFT SIDE ONLY.

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.
