■Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to fully open
the washer door.
■ Washer dimensions
• Most installations require a minimum
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 2.5 cm on all
sides of the washer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.

■ 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 washer 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.
