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
Rear
50 mm
Top
25 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.
