Flooring
For best performance, the washing machine must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced
to minimise vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not resist vibrations well and may
cause the washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine always retains some
water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection parts may cause damage to belts,
the pump, and other components of the washing machine.
Alcove installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
•
Sides: 25 mm, Top: 25 mm, Rear: 50 mm, Front: 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove must have at least
a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your washing machine alone does not require a specific air opening.
Step-by-step installation
NOTE
While unpacking the washing machine, lift the washing machine from the foam base. Make sure the drum support
was removed from the bottom of the washing machine.
STEP 1 Select a location
Location requirements:
•
Solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
•
Away from direct sunlight
•
Adequate room for ventilation and wiring
•
The ambient temperature is always higher than the freezing point (0 °C)
•
Away from a heat source
NOTE
•
To prevent excessive vibration while operating the washing machine, consider stability before anything else.
•
Install your washing machine on a solid and level floor.
•
Do not install your washing machine on soft floors or floor coverings.
•
If you install your washing machine on a wood floor, install a water-resistance wooden panel (min 1.18 in. /
30 mm thick) to the floor. Also, when installing on wood floor we recommend installing your washing machine
on the corner of the wood floor.
