LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:

■

A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

■

A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of

where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.

See “Electrical Requirements.”

■

Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft. (900 mm)

of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure

of 20–100 psi (138–690 kPa) for best performance.

■

Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire

washer. Installing the washer on carpet is not recommended.

■

A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water,

and load) of 315 lbs (143 kg).

IMPORTANT:

Do not operate, install, or store washer where

it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below

32° F (0° C). Some water can remain in washer and can cause

damage in low temperatures. See your “Use and Care Guide”

for information on winterizing.

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.

Spacing for recessed area or closet installation

All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, with tested

spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides.

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing.

■

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

floor moldings.

■

Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the

washer to reduce noise transfer.

■

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are

acceptable.

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
