OPTIONAL PEDESTAL BASE OR
STACKING KIT
• T
o minimize noise
and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on
a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE below.
•
Allowable slope under the
entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a
platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described
below
.
NOTE:
Please note that the floor must be strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washer when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more
rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may not be rigid enough for a front-
loading washer
, due to
the difference in the spin
speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your
washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel
the vibration throughout your house.

NOTE:
Before installing the
washer, make sure the floor is
clean, dry and free of dust, dirt,
water and oils so the washer feet
can not slide
easily
. Leveling feet
that can move or slide on the
floor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the floor.
NOTE:
If a drip pan must
be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions
provided with the drip pan
and make sure the leveling
feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly
level the machine may result in increased vibration
and noise during operation.
