• Installation place requirement Drain Hose __ ¢_ Level floor Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°. Power outlet Must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Minimum installation spacing • Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer. • Most installations require a minimum 4 in. (10 cm) clearance behind the washer. • Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. • Positioning • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. • Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended. • Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure. A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Frontloaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
