INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FLOORING • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE below. • Allowable slope under the entire washer is 1° maximum. • C arpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended. • Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure. Use only an approved accessory pedestal as described below. NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a frontloading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house. NOTE: Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor. NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation. INSTALLATIONS WITH OPTIONAL PEDESTAL BASE OR STACKING KIT IMPORTANT: If you are installing your washer using an optional pedestal base or stacking kit, please refer to Optional Accessories in this manual or to the instructions for your pedestal or stacking kit before proceeding with the installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FLOORING
INSTALLATIONS WITH
OPTIONAL PEDESTAL BASE OR
STACKING KIT
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
See the NOTE below.
•
Allowable slope under the entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure. Use only an approved
accessory pedestal as described below.
NOTE:
Please note that the floor must be strong
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
washer when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more
rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may not be rigid enough for a front-
loading washer, due to the difference in the spin
speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your
washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel
the vibration throughout your house.
