Yes, I guessed the OP was probably talking about levelling the machine,
but I thought it worth mentioning the shipping clamps in case they'd
been missed.

In my experience a lot of machines have two fixed feet at the back with
adjustable feet at the front where they are relatively accessible. If
the back feet *are* adjustable then, yes, it can be a pig to get them
set right - especially as they're inclined to rotate and adjust
themselves some more as you try to slide the machine back into place
:-(

Yes, the machine needs to be reasonably level but personally I've never
bothered to use a spirit level - it's not normally an issue unless
you're dealing with very uneven floors in old buildings. Even if the
OP prefers it to be 'spot-on', he should be able to use the top of the
machine as a visual reference without actually having to place the
level on the top of the machine.

Mine is a 1600 spin speed like the OPs and it has adjustable back
feet. I think the faster the speed the more critical getting it level
is. The instructions even imply being level is a condition of the
guarantee. In leu of me "doing" the kitchen I've turned the speed down
to 1000.
