Installing your washer

Selecting a location

Before you install your washer, make sure the location:

Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation and avoid vibrations

Allows at least 4 in (10 cm) between the washer and the wall

Is away from direct sunlight and not exposed to rain as moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard

Has adequate ventilation

Is not exposed to temperatures below freezing (below 32 ˚F and 0 ˚C)

Is away from heat sources such as oil and gas

Has enough space so that your washer doesn’t stand on its power cable
