Water remaining in washer after use may cause damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Maintenance and Care" for winterizing information. Select proper location for your washer to improve performance and minimize noise and possible "washer walk." Install your washer in a basement, laundry room, closet or recessed area. Proper installation is your responsibility. You will need � A water heater set to 120°F (49°C). � A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of power cord on back of washer. � Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of hot and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure of 20- 100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). � A level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing on carpet or surfaces with foam backing is not recommended. � Floor must support washer's total weight (with water and load) of 315 lbs. (143 kg). All dimensions show minimum spacing allowed. For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
