■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
■ A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total
weight (water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage
in low temperatures.
Installation clearances
■ The location must be large enough to allow the washer door
to be fully opened.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
