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 49°C water to the washer.
An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m of where the
power cord is attached to the back of the washer. (See
"Electrical Requirements.")
Hot and cold water faucets located within 1.2 m of the hot and
B
cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
34.5-690 kPa.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 2.5 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 143 kgs.
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or
below 0°C. Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care" in the Washer
User Instructions for winterizing information.
Recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing
allowed, except the closet door ventilation openings. The
dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings are the
minimum required.
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 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 openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
