Most installations require a minimum 4 in. (10 cm) clearance behind the washer.

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for installation and servicing.

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Level floor

Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.

To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.

Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.

Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

Power outlet

Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.

Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
