Flooring

  • To minimize noise and vibration, install the washer on a level, solidly constructed floor capable of supporting the appliance without flexing or bouncing.

  • The appliance must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.

  • The floor under the appliance must not slope more than 2.5 cm from front to back or side to side.

  • Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.

  • Never install the appliance on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 2.5 cm at the sides and 10 cm behind the appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.
