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.
