Level floor
Allowable slope under entire washer is 1˚.
Power outlet
Must be within 60 inches (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.
It is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer
to have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Minimum installation spacing
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all
sides of the washer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer.
• Most installations require a minimum 4 in.
(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
Installation place requirement
Positioning
• 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.
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.
