or other materials.
•
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such as lint,
paper, rages, chemicals, etc.
• Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter
or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong

injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 in. (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 wiring electric codes and regulations.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE:
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified service technician.
To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow,
allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the
sides and 4 in. (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow
for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the
required clearances.
NOTE:
The washer must be installed on firm flooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided
it is built to FHA standards. The washer should not be
installed on rugs or exposed to weather.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be
installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE
to your right.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum
1 in. 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.
