Flooring

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

• The washer 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 washer must not slope more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to side.

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

• Never install the washer 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 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Stacking or Pedestal Installation

The washer can be stacked under a dryer or on top of a pedestal or pedestal washer.

Note

• Refer to the instructions packaged with the optional pedestal kit before stacking appliance on pedestal.

• Do not use a drain pan with a pedestal or pedestal washer installation as it can block the drawer. Using a drain pan may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.
