LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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,
or recessed area. See "Drain System."
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will
be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer
in temperatures at or below 0°C (32°F). Some water can remain
in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
n A water heater set to 49°C (120°F).
n An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m (4 ft.) of
power cord on back of washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
n Hot and cold water faucets located within 1.2 m (4 ft.) of hot
and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure
of 138–690 kPa (20–100 psi). A pressure reduction valve
should be used in the supply line where inlet pressure
entering the building exceeds 690 kPa (100 psi) to avoid
damage to the washer mixing valve.
n Single washer installations require 300 mm (12") minimum
risers to provide an air cushion and avoid noise and damage
to valves.
n A level floor with maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under entire
washer. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
n Floor must support washer's total weight (with water and load)
of 143 kgs (315 lbs).
n A floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads
with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities
should be used only where local codes permit.
