INSTALLATION

Install your washing machine in a level, stable place.• It is dangerous to place the washing machine in an

unstable location since it may move during vibration.• It will increase the sound produced by the machine when

it vibrates during use.

When you move washing machine, hold the handleson the sides.There are moving parts, electrical parts and steelplates which may cause electrical shock or injury.• Never touch on the cabinet bottom by hands.

Never lift at the cabinet bottom by hands.

When the machine is covered.Do not use the cover made of chloric vinyl. Sometimes itdamages resinous parts and painted surface. When youuse the cover made of chloric vinyl, put the cloth betweenthe machine and the cover.

Avoid place where the machine is exposed to directsunlight.• Plastic parts may become deformed or discolored.

Avoid places where the machine may become frozenduring cold weather.

Allow a space of at least 5 cm from the sides and rearof the machine to the nearest vertical object.• When placed too near to walls or other objects, the

vibration of the machine during operation may causethem to shake.

Choosing an installation location

Installing the ground pin

• The ground pin in the plug should be connected to the proper point of the socket for grounding.

Allow 5 cm

3 Depending on locations of the bubble in the horizontallevel indicator, place caps and lock legs (Make sure tofix adjustable legs.)• Mount the leg caps on the

right-hand legs. Rotate theheight adjust legs toperform height adjustment.

4 Hold down the diagonal line of the washingmachine and make sure that no ratting occurs.• Despite the fact that the bubble is inside the circle, the ratting

exists. Then shaking motionbecomes larger or someabnormal noise comes out.Make sure to readjust in casethe washing machine rattles.

Leveling the washing machine

When adjusting the legs, supports the top of the machine. Do not support the machine bottom.

1 Adjust the legs so that the machine does not move.Note: After adjustment, lock the nuts ofthe legs by rotating them in the direc-tion of the arrow. Make sure so that thebottom of the main body front does notreach the floor. If the bottom is in touchwith the floor, then it will be the causeof shaking and abnormal noise.

2 Check the position of the air bubble in the floor levelindicator.• If the bubble is not positioned inside the circle, adjust the height

by rotating the leg caps.Note: Check the floor levelindicator directly from above.
