11INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to
make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may
cause severe vibration and noise.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5
m) of either side of the washer.
• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug
are easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the washer owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Flooring
• To minimize noise and vibration, install the
washer on a level, solidly constructed floor
capable of supporting the washer without
flexing or bouncing.
• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is
sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.
• The floor under the washer must not slope more
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to
side.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is
not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
Floor Installation
To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet
hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum
clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides
and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure
to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may
increase the required clearances.
† 20" (50.8 cm) additional needed for service
NOTE
• Refer to the instructions packaged with the
optional pedestal kit before stacking appliance
on pedestal.
• Do not use a drain pan with a pedestal or
pedestal washer installation as it can block the
drawer. Using a drain pan may result in
increased vibration and noise during operation.
