FLOORING
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE at right.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described below.

PEDESTAL BASE OR STACkING kIT

or stacking kit before proceeding with the
installation.

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.

UNPACkING AND REMOVING SHIPPING BOLTS
When removing the washer from the carton
base, be sure to remove the foam tub support
in the middle of the carton base.
If you must lay the washer down to remove the
base packaging materials, always lay it carefully
on its side. Do NOT lay the washer on its front
or back.
IMPORTANT: To prevent internal damage
during transport, the washer is equipped with
4 shipping bolts and plastic retainers. These
bolts and retainers MUST be removed before
operating the washer.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers
may cause severe vibration and noise, which can
lead to permanent damage to the washer. The
cord is secured to the back of the washer with
a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with
shipping bolts in place.
