3. InstALLAtIon InstRUCtIons (CONT’D)
Level floor
• Allowable slope under entire washer
is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the
washer MUST be installed on a solidly
constructed oor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or
weakly supported structure
NOTE
A rm, solid oor is even more critical
to a front-loading washer than to a top-
loader. If your oor 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 oor is not solid, your washe
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 qualied electrician.
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 oor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all
sides of the washer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer. (Fig.9)
Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
