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.

Floor Installation

You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.

Note
  • Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.
