INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

6

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open
the washer door.

Washer dimensions

• Most installations require a minimum 4 in.

(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.

Minimum installation spacing for
recessed area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the minimum
spacing allowed.
Additional spacing should be considered for
installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required for wall,

door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of

the washer is recommended to reduce noise
transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.

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.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly

supported structure.

NOTE: 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 reinforce 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.
