Stack Kit Are you planning to stack your washer and dryer? To do so you will need to purchase a Stack Kit. To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer or refer to the "Assistance or Service" section in the "Use & Care Guide." Ask for Part Number 8572546. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk." The 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˝(2.5 cm) 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. Installation Clearances • The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be fully opened. • Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not reversible. • Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings. • Additional spacing of 1˝ (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer. • Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
