Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer. For free standing installation and with
the washer in it’s final position, place a level on top of the
washer. Adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-torear
and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.

Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the
slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the washer is
SOLID on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg
extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer.

NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended the
more the washer will vibrate.

Check the balance of the tub when you wash a cycle. Try to spread out the clothing material the best that you can. Also, make sure the unit itself is level on the ground. You may need to adjust the leg screws to make it level and not easily moveable when in use. You may want to put a piece of wood or leveling rubber to help keep the unit from walking.
