INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation clearances The location must be large enough to fully open the washer door. Washer dimensions (152091.13/1c6m" ) 29 3/4" 4" (75.6 cm) (10 cm) [Side view] 3811/16" (98.3 cm) (68.267c" m) 29 3/4" (75.6 cm) • Most installations require a minimum 4 in. (10 cm) clearance behind the washer. Minimum installation spacing for recessed area installation. The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed. Additional spacing should be considered for installation and servicing. • Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings. • Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. 6 1" (2.5 cm) 27" (68.6 cm) [Front view] 1" (2.5 cm) Level floor • Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°. • 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. NOTE: 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. Front-loaders 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. Power outlet • Must be within 60 in. (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. NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
