INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

■ Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open
the washer door.

■ Washer dimensions

(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.

■ 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.
