Risers

Risers or air cushions may be installed if pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. Risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to water supply faucets.

Location

Install washer on a solid floor.

Wood floor constructions may sometimes need to be reinforced to minimize vibration from unbalanced loads. Carpet and soft tile surfaces also contribute to vibration and/or tendency for washer to move slightly during spin cycle.

Never install washer on a platform or weak support structure.

DO NOT install washer on carpeted floor.

Use dimensions shown at right to determine space needed for easy installation and servicing.
