I N S TA L L AT I O N FLOORING • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE at right. • A llowable 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 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. 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.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its side. Do NOT lay the washer on its front or back. IMPORTANT: To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer is equipped with 4 shipping bolts and plastic retainers. These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before operating the washer. • Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

To prevent damage to internal components, the shipping bolts and retainers must be installed when transporting the washer. 11 2007.10.4 2:31:28 PM
