PowerOutlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either
side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that
the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than
one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current wiring electric codes and regulations.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied service technician.
To ensure sucient clearance for water lines and airow,
allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the
sides and 4 in. (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow
for wall, door, or oor moldings that may increase the
required clearances.
Allow at least 21 ¼ in. (54 cm) in front of
the washer to open the door.
NOTE: The oor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,
without exing or bouncing. If your oor has too much
ex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A oor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may
not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to
the dierence in the spin speed and direction. If the
oor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may
hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be
installed on a solidly constructed oor. See the NOTE
to your right.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum
1 in. dierence from side to side or from front to back.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is
not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
