Check the following requirements for the install location before installing the washer.

• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washer for installation.

• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise.

• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

• If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drain pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drain pans and failure to properly level the washer may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.
