LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A water heater set to 120° F (49° C).
n
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of
n
power cord on back of washer.
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of hot
n
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
n
washer. Installing on carpet or surfaces with foam backing is
not recommended.
Floor must support washer's total weight (with water and load)
n
of 400 lbs (180 kgs).
IMPORTANT: Do not install, store, or operate washer where
it will be exposed to weather or in temperatures below 32° F
(0° C). Water remaining in washer after use may cause damage
in low temperatures. See "Washer Care" in Washer Use and Care
Guide for winterizing information.
All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for
closet door ventilation openings which are the minimum required.
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.
