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 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 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 in. (2.5 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting 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.
