Amana FRONT-LOADING AUTOMATICWASHER Use & Care Manual page 5

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
• A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total
weight (water and load) of 400 Ibs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage
in low temperatures.
Installation clearances
• The location must be large enough to allow the washer door
to be fully opened.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
