INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6
■
Installation clearances
The location
must
be
large enough
to
fully
open
the washer door.
■
Washer dimensions
?
Most installations
require
a
minimum 4 in.
(10 cm)
clearance behind the washer.
■
Minimum installation
spacing
for
recessed
area
installation.
The
following
dimensions shown
are
for the minimum
spacing
allowed.
Additional
spacing
should be considered for
installation and
servicing.
?
Additional clearances
might
be
required
for
wall,
door and floor
moldings.
?
Additional
spacing
of 1 in.
(2.5 cm)
on
all sides of
the washer is recommended
to
reduce noise
transfer.
Companion appliance spacing
should also be
considered.
■
Level floor
?
Allowable
slope
under entire washer is 1°.
?
To minimize noise and
vibration,
the washer
MUST be installed
on a
solidly
constructed
floor.
?
Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces
are
not
recommended.
?
Never install the washer
on a
platform
or
weakly
supported
structure.
NOTE: A
firm,
solid floor is
even more
critical
to
a
front-loading
washer than
to
a
top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame
construction,
you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders
use
substantially
faster
spin
speeds
than
top-loaders, causing
greater
vibration. If the floor is
not
solid,
your washer
will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration
throughout
your house.
■
Power outlet
?
Must be within 60 in.
(1.5 m)
of either side of the
washer. Do
not
overload the outlet with
more
than
one
appliance.
?
Time-delay
fuse
or
circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the
personal responsibility
and
obligation
of the
customer to
have
a
proper outlet
installed
by
a
qualified
electrician.
