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.
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.
