Installation Instructions
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 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.
WARNING:
Recycle or destroy the
carton and plastic bags after the washer is
unpacked. Make materials inaccessible to
children. Children might use them for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic
sheets can become airtight chambers causing
suffocation.
Make sure you have removed all of the packaging
material from the top and bottom of the washer.
