Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your 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 Ibs (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.
•
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.
