setting up your washer

Flooring

For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wood fl oor
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
CAUTION

Location consideration

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage the
pump, hoses and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides - 1 In.(2.5 cm)
Rear - 4 In. (10.2 cm)
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in²
(465cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specifi c air opening.
