AVERTISSEMENT

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.

A) Preparing washer or dryer for mounting on pedestal

If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip to 1. step 4.

If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical and 2. gas connections and exhaust venting.

If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electrical 3. 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.

If appliance has plastic feet, screw each foot fl ush to the base.4.

If appliance has metal feet, unscrew them, remove the locking 5. nut and reinstall the feet flush to the base.

NOTE If locking nuts are not removed on units with metal feet, mounting holes in appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.

B) Preparing pedestal before mounting washer or dryer

Locate pedestal to within a few inches of its final location.1.

NOTE Allow for approximately 5 in. (12.5 cm) behind the pedestal for clearance of back of washer or dryer to the wall. Allow additional space if venting dryer upward or downward.

Level the pedestal front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting 2. each leveling leg. Keep leg extension to a minimum.

Rock the pedestal from corner-to-corner to check for stability. 3. Repeat leveling and rocking until all four (4) feet are sturdy on the floor and pedestal is level.
