10 INSTALLATION

Choosing the Proper

Location

Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and

rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,

even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing.

If the oor has too much ex, you may need to

reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not

solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure the oor

is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so

the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet

that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to

excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with

the oor.

• 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 rm 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.

• Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the

washer for installation.

Power Outlet

• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (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 electrical wiring codes and regulations.

• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the

product owner to have a proper outlet installed by

qualied service personnel.

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must

be installed on a solidly constructed oor.

• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a

maximum 1 inch (2.5 cm) 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 washer must be installed on rm ooring to

minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete

ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,

provided it is built to FHA standards.

To ensure sufcient clearance for water lines, the

drain line and airow, allow minimum clearances of

at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10

cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door,

or oor moldings that may increase the required

clearances.

NOTE

• Refer to the instructions packaged with the optional

pedestal kit before installing with a pedestal kit.

• Do not use a drip pan with a pedestal or pedestal

washer installation as it can block the drawer. Using

a drip pan may result in increased vibration and

noise during operation.
