Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 cm. The
drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the
standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to
the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly
constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to
minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which
can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze,
since your washer will always retain some water in its water
valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the
pump, hoses, and other components.
