FLOORINg

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor.
See the NOTE at right.
• 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.
Using the Floor Pads
• When installing the washer on a wooden fl oor,
place the included fl oor pads under the legs of
the washer. This will help reduce vibration when
the washer is operating.
NOTE: If a pedestal is being used, the fl oor pads
should be placed beneath the pedestal legs.
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.
