Power Outlet
The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either•
side of the washer.
The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the
•
plug is easily accessible.
Do not overload the outlet with more than, one appliance.•
The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current•
wiring electric codes and regulations.
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
•
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified service technician.
To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be
•
installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE at
right.
Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum
•
1 in. difference from side to side or from front to back.
Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not
•
recommended.
Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
•
supported structure.
NOTE: 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,
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.
