FLOORING
NOTE: Please note that 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 in it,
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.
INSTALLATIONS WITH OPTIONAL
PEDESTAL BASE OR STACKING KIT
IMPORTANT: If you are installing your washer
using an optional pedestal base or stacking kit,
please refer to the instructions for your pedestal
or stacking kit before proceeding with the
installation.
