Power Outlet

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 wiring
codes and regulations.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
service person.
FLOORING
For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly
constructed floor. Wood floor may need to be reinforced to
minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may
cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION:
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.

NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong and rigid
enough to support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,
without flexing or bouncing, If your floor has too much flex in it,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is
adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a
front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and
direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you
may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
