Location Requirements 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 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). ■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) 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 lbs. (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. 3
