12 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.
