INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and choosing the proper
location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing
machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to
reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it
may cause severe vibration and noise.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
2
Two or more people are needed for moving and
unpacking the washing machine.
3
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the
washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain
line, and airflow.
NOTE
• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that
may increase the required clearances.

NOTE
• The floor must be strong and rigid enough to support
the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without
flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may
not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to
the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the
floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may
hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
• Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the
washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can
move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
