@ NOTE
f-
. 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.
. 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.
o 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.

--@NOTE
Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent
damage to internal components,
DO NOT transport the
washer without
reinstalling the shipping bolts.
Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may
cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to
permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured
to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help
prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.
