INSTALLATION
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.
Space Requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the
drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
y Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings
that may increase the required clearances.

NOTE
y 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 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.
y 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.
y 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.
