INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and choosing the proper
location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong and
rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine,
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.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
2
Two or more people are needed for moving and
unpacking the washing machine.
3
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the
washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain
line, and airflow.
NOTE
Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that
y
may increase the required clearances.

NOTE
The floor must be strong and rigid enough to support
y
the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without
flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,
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.
Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is
y
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the
washer feet can not 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.
If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the
y
instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure
the leveling feet are adjusted for firm 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.
