Location Requirements

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.”

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. 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 4 ft (1.2 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (90 cm) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not recommended.

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

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care” for winterizing information.

Installation spacing for recessed area and closet installations

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this washer. This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:

■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

■Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the washer to reduce noise transfer.
