ENGLISH
Choosing the Proper
Location
Check the following requirements for the install
location before installing the appliance.
• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
the appliance for installation.
• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move
or slide on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise.
• 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.
• If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to
follow the instructions provided with the drain
pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted
for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of
drain pans and failure to properly level the
appliance may result in increased vibration and
noise during operation.
Flooring
• To minimize noise and vibration, install the
washer on a level, solidly constructed floor
capable of supporting the appliance without
flexing or bouncing.
• The appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance 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'' (2.5 cm) at the sides and
4'' (10 cm) behind the appliance. Be sure to allow
for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase
the required clearances.
