death.

Position the appliance in the final location and
check to make sure it is level.
• All leveling feet must rest solidly on the
floor. Gently push on the corners of the
appliance to make sure that it does not rock
from corner to corner. Make sure there are
no gaps between the front leveling feet and
the floor.

Use the wrench (packaged with the appliance)
to turn the leveling feet.
• Extend the front feet to raise the appliance
or retract the feet to lower it. If unable to
level the appliance using only the front feet,
tip the appliance forward and intstall the
two rear leveling feet. Do not lay the
appliance down to install the leveling feet.
• Raise or lower the appliance using the
leveling feet until the appliance is level from
side to side and front to back.
CAUTION
• Make sure that all leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor. If the appliance is used
without leveling, it may fall, causing injury,
damage, or product malfunction.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the appliance. Extending the leveling feet
more than necessary can cause the appliance to
vibrate.
