LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Selecting the proper location for your washer
improves performance and minimizes noise
and possible washer “walk.”
Your washer can be installed in a basement,
laundry room, closet, or recessed area (see
“Drain System”).
IMPORTANT:
Do not install or store the washer
where it will be exposed to the weather.
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
5 ft (1.5 m) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer (see
“Electrical Requirements”).
• Hot and cold water faucets located within
3-1/2 ft (1.1 m) of the hot and cold water fill
valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi
(34.5-690 kPa).
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 3/4
″
(2.0 cm) under entire washer. Installing the
washer on carpeting is not recommended.
• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight
(washer, water and load) of 260 lbs (118 kgs).
Do not store or operate your washer in tem-
peratures at or below 32
°
F (0
°
C). Some water
can remain in the washer and can cause dam-
age in low temperatures. See “Washer Care”
in the “Use & Care Guide” for winterizing infor-
mation.
Recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recom-
mended spacing allowed, except the closet
door ventilation openings. The dimensions
shown for the closet door ventilation openings
are the minimum required.
A. Front view
B. Side view
C. Closet door with vents
• Additional spacing should be considered for
ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances may 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.
• If a closet door is installed, the minimum air
openings in the top and bottom of the door
are required. Louvered doors with air open-
ings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
