11INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Choosing the Proper
Location
Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and
rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,
even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing.
If the oor has too much ex, you may need to
reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not
solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
NOTE
• Before installing the washer, make sure the oor
is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so
the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet
that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to
excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with
the oor.
• If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow
the instructions provided with the drip pan and make
sure the leveling feet are adjusted for rm and even
contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to
properly level the machine may result in increased
vibration and noise during operation.
• Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the
washer for installation.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m)
of either side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that
the plug is 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.
NOTE
• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
product owner to have a proper outlet installed by
qualied service personnel.
Flooring
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must
be installed on a solidly constructed oor.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a
maximum 1 inch (2.5 cm) difference from side to
side or from front to back.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
NOTE
• The washer must be installed on rm ooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,
provided it is built to FHA standards.

To ensure sufcient clearance for water lines, the
drain line and airow, allow minimum clearances of
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10
cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door,
or oor moldings that may increase the required
clearances.

NOTE

• Do not use a drip pan with a pedestal or pedestal
washer installation as it can block the drawer. Using
a drip pan may result in increased vibration and
noise during operation.
