■ 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.
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.
It is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
