Choosing the Proper Location

Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and

rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,

even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing. If the oor has too much ex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not

solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure the oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet

that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to

excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with

the oor.

• 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 rm 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.

• Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the washer for installation.

Power Outlet

• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (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 electrical wiring codes and regulations.

• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE

• The washer must be installed on rm ooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete

ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,

provided it is built to FHA standards.

To ensure sufcient clearance for water lines, the drain line and airow, allow minimum clearances of

at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door,

or oor moldings that may increase the required

clearances.

NOTE

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by

qualied service personnel.

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer must

be installed on a solidly constructed oor.

• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1 inch (2.5 cm) difference 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.

NOTE

• Refer to the instructions packaged with the optional pedestal kit before installing with a pedestal kit.

• Do not use a drip pan with a pedestal or pedestal washer installation as it can block the drawer. Using a drip pan may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

11INSTALLATION

Unpacking and Removing Shipping Bolts

Unpack all shipping materials from the washer for proper operation and inspect it for shipping damage.

CAUTION

• Failure to remove shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration.

Lift the washer off the foam base.

After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washer off the foam base. Make sure the plastic tub support comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washer.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always protect the side of the washer and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.

Install the hole caps.

Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

Cap

NOTE

• Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts.

• 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.
