INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Choosing the Proper Location
Install the washer on a solid floor that is strong and
rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,
even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing.
If the floor has too much flex, you may need to
reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not
solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
NOTE
• Before installing the washer, make sure the floor
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 floor can
contribute to excess vibration and noise due to
poor contact with the floor.
• Allow for sufficient 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 a qualified electrician.
Flooring
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must
be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a
maximum 1 inch 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 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.
