INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and Choosing the Proper
Location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is
strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washing machine, even when fully loaded, without
flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If
the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration
and noise.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
2 Two or more people are needed for moving and
unpacking the washing machine.
3 Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the
washing machine for installation.
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the
drain line, and airflow.

@ 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,
you may need to reinforce itto 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.
. 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.
. 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.
