setting up your washer
Flooring
For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor. Wood fl oor
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location consideration
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage the
pump, hoses and other components.
