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.
