INSTAI_/ATION INST UcTIONS
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
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.
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,
o o::'_'
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.
