Installation Instructions
LOCATION OF YOUR WASHER
Do Not Install the Washer:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside
weather conditions. The ambient temperature should
never be below 60°F (15.6°C) for proper washer
operation.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains
or drapes.
3. On carpet. The floor MUST be a hard level surface
with a maximum slope of 1/2” per foot (1.27 cm per
30 cm). To make sure the washer does not vibrate
or move, you may have to reinforce the floor.
NOTE: If the floor is in poor condition, use 3/4”
impregnated plywood sheet solidly attached to the
existing floor covering.
