To Avoid The Possibility Of Water Damage:
•Have Water Faucets Easily Accessible
•Turn Off Faucets When Washer Is Not In Use.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommendedheight of the standpipe is 18”. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to acceptthe outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attachedat the factory.
FLOORING
For best performancethe washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalancedload situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommendedthe washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damageto belts, pump, hoses and other components.Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 0 in / 0 mm Rear – 1 in / 
mm
Top – 2 in / 
mm Closet Front – 0 in / 0 mm
The closet front must have a total unobstructed air opening of 72 in2. / 465 cm2 minimum, if both washer and dryer are installed together. A louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable.Washer alone does not require specific air opening.
