Installation Instructions

Read this first !
This washer can be individually installed in free-standing and built-in installations. You can also install
your washer with your dryer as a free-standing or built-in pair. Before you install your appliance, read
the following instructions completely and carefully:
• Save these instructions for future reference.
• This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by qualified and skilled technicians in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
• Proper installation of this appliance is the responsibility of the owner and failure due to improper
installation is not covered by the warranty.

The Right Location of Installation

You can install your washer in a basement, closet or in a laundry room if the location has proper
drainage, plumbing and power supply system. Always follow these instructions for installation:
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather, rain, damp places,
water and direct sunlight. The ambient temperature must be higher than 60°F (15.6°C) for proper
operation. Installation location must have the proper ventilation.
• Do not store and use any flammable and combustible substances such as lint, paper, curtains,
gasoline, coal and liquid or vapor chemicals near the appliance.
• Install and operate the washer on a strong solid concrete floor to prevent vibration, noise or
movement in case of load unbalance. The floor must have sufficient load carrying capacity and the
washer must be leveled properly before the operation.
• It is not recommended to install and operate the washer on a wooden floor or soft floor. If you
have to install your washer on a wooden or frame construction floor, the floor must be reinforced
properly and the washer must be located in the corner of the room if possible.
• Never place your washer on a carpet. This prevents air circulation. The electrical components of the
machine may overheat and cause damage.
• Do not stand appliance on the power cable.
• Do not install and operate your washer in ambient temperatures lower than 32˚F (0˚C). Controls
may stop working properly in such condition.
• If there is danger of frost, drain all remaining water in pump and hoses since it may freeze and
cause damage by bursting them (see "Cleaning the drain pump filter").
