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 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 person.
FLOORING
• 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"
difference from side to side or from front to back.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported

rq
(2.5 cm) (66.8 cm) (2.5 cm)
Allow at least 211/4 in. (54 cm) in front of the washer to open
the door.
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.
