Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See "Drain System."
Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need
[] A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
[] A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
[] Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
[] A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
[] A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 400 Ibs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.
InstallaSon clearances
[] The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be fully opened.
[] Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90 ° and it is not reversible.
[] Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
[] Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
[] Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
