COLD WEATHER STORAGE
The following precautions should be taken if a washer is to be stored, after use or where it would be subject to
freezing conditions.
1. Turn off the water supply, then remove the inlet hoses.
2. Select a fill cycle and energize the water valve by selecting a warm water setting. A few seconds of fill is suffi-
cient.
3. Disconnect from electrical supply.
4. Remove the drain hose cover from upper left corner of cabinet back.
5. Lower the drain hose to floor level and tilt washer backwards to remove water from the drain hose and pump.
6. Re-install the drain hose cover.
7. When machine is reinstalled allow machine to stabilize to room temperature. See location considerations.
FLOORING
For best performance the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be rein-
forced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing fac-
tors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install the washer on a
platform or weakly supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will always
maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts, pump, hoses and
other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 0 in.
Rear – 1.75 in.
Top – 19 in.
Closet Front – 0 in.
The closet front must have a total unobstructed air opening of 72 sq. in. minimum. A louvered door with equivalent
air opening is acceptable.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
PLEASE READ THE PRECEDING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE WASH-
ING MACHINE. THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
