• Level floor
• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed
floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
NOTE:
• Never install the washer
on a platform
or weakly
supported
structure.
A firm, solid floor is even more
critical
to a
front-loading
washer
than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or
frame
construction,
you may need to rein|brce
it.
Front-loaders
use substantially
faster
spin
speeds
than top-loaders,
causing
greater
vibration.
If the floor is not solid, your washer
will vibrate.
You will hear and feel the
vibration
throughout
your house.
• Power outlet
• Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the
washer. Do not overload the outlet with more
than one appliance.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility
and obligation
of the customer to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
