5. Setup and Installation

Preparation:

• Unplug both the washer and dryer from their power outlets.
• Position the washer in its final desired location. Ensure it is level and stable.
• Clear the area around the washer and dryer to allow for easy movement and access.

Installation Steps:

1. Attach Rear Brackets: Locate the designated attachment points on the rear top edge of your washer. These may require drilling small pilot holes if not pre-drilled. Secure the two C-shaped rear brackets using the provided screws. A magnetic-tipped screwdriver may be helpful for recessed screw holes.
2. Position Main Stacking Rail: Place the long main stacking rail onto the top of the washer, ensuring it aligns with the front and the rear brackets. The rail should sit securely.
3. Prepare Front Piece (if applicable): If your kit includes a front piece with double-sided tape, it is recommended to dry-fit the dryer onto the washer first to mark the exact location for the front piece. Use a washable marker or grease pencil to mark the alignment points. Then, remove the dryer, apply the front piece to the washer using the tape, and ensure it is correctly positioned before proceeding.
4. Lift and Position Dryer: With the assistance of another person, carefully lift the dryer and align its feet with the grooves and securing points on the main stacking rail. Gently lower the dryer into place, ensuring it is seated firmly and securely.
5. Verify Stability: Once the dryer is in place, gently push and pull on the top unit to ensure it is stable and does not wobble. The plastic composition of the kit should secure the units nicely.
6. Optional: Anti-Vibration Pads: For enhanced stability and reduced vibration, consider installing anti-vibration foot pads underneath the washer before stacking.
7. Reconnect Power: Once installation is complete and verified, plug both the washer and dryer back into their respective power outlets.

6. Operating

Once the Frigidaire Stacking Kit is installed, operate your washer and dryer according to their individual instruction manuals. The stacking kit provides a stable platform for stacked operation.

7. Maintenance

The Frigidaire Stacking Kit requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the kit components for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening of screws. Ensure the units remain level and stable. Clean the plastic components with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
