CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION

FLOORING
For best performance, you must install your washer on a rigid, dry and level surface.
Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
load situations.
- Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can
cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
WARNING: Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since
your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas.
Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components. Never
install on a platform or weakly supported structure.
The unit should be installed on a level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25mm).
ELECTRIC
Use 120Volt 60Hz 15 or 20 Amps fuse or circuit breaker. Individual branch circuit
serving only your washer is recommended.
The washer should be located near a grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft.
(1.8m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical
Requirements."
WARNING: Never use an extension cord.
