Selecting a Location

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

Proper installation is the consumer’s responsibility.

You will need:

A water heater set to deliver a minimum 120º F. (49º C) water to the washer.

A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.

Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. of the hot and cold water fill valves and water pressure of 20-100 psi.

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch under entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not recommended.

A sturdy floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 315 lbs, (143kgs).

Do not operate the washer in temperatures below 32º F. (0º C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.

Recessed area or closet installation

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

Fig. 1-4

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 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.

If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
