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.
