Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washing
machine must be installed on a solid floor.
Wood floors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
not a good resistance to vibrations and
may cause the washing machine to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a
platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in
areas where water may freeze as the
washing machine always retains some
water in its water valves, pumps, and/or
hoses. Frozen water left in the connection
parts may cause damage to belts, the
pump, and other components of the
washing machine.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
Sides 25 mm
Top 25 mm
Rear 50 mm
Front 550 mm
If both the washing machine and a dryer
are installed in the same location, the front
of the alcove or closet must have at least
a 550 mm unobstructed air opening. Your
washing machine alone does not require a
specific air opening.
