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.
Power Outlet
The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.Position the washer so that the outlet and plug are easily accessible.Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the washer owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Flooring
Install the washing machine on a solid concrete cement that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.Clean the floor before installation.Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.Two or more people are needed for moving and unpacking the washing machine.Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washing machine for installation.You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.Dimensions and ClearancesA55'' (139.6 cm)B30 1/2'' (77 cm)C4'' (10 cm)D1'' (2.5 cm)E27'' (70 cm)F0.2'' (0.5 cm)The washer can be stacked under a dryer or on top of a pedestal or pedestal washer.Dimensions and ClearancesA30 1/2'' (77 cm)B4'' (10 cm)C1'' (2.5 cm)D27'' (70 cm)E77 1/2'' (196.8 cm)F0.2'' (0.5 cm)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.
