Positioning The Washer; Level Floor; Minimum Installation Spacing For Recessed Area Installation; Power Outlet - Crosley CFW-8000GBL Owner's Manual

Positioning the washer

• 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.

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 washe
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.
