Location Requirements

Washers must be installed on a level concrete floor on the
ground level of a building. Washers should not be installed on a floor
other than the ground floor, or in a room with a basement or on a
floor with rooms below without approval of a structural engineer.
Proper installation is your responsibility and must meet all governing
codes and ordinances.
Working Conditions
Washers should not be installed within reach of spraying water.
■
Do not install washer where it will be exposed to weather or
■
excessive humidity. Do not allow water or condensation to
run over walls or floor under washer. Ambient temperature for
storage or transportation must be between 34 and 131°F
(1 and 55°C).
Floor
Space requirements for installations are determined by the number
of washers being installed. See "Technical Specifications" and
"Installation Instructions" for more detailed information.
Installation must be on a solid concrete floor or slab capable
■
of withstanding the weight and vibration produced by the
washer. The maximum slope of the floor is 1° under the washer.
A rough, uncovered concrete surface is preferable to a smooth
or covered surface.
