Location
R*
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
6
ft (1
.8
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
"
(2.5
cm) under
entire
washer.
Installing
the
washer on
soft floor
surfaces,
such
as carpets
or
surfaces
with
foam
backing,
is
not
recommended.
A
sturdy
and
solid floor to
support
the
washer
with a
total
weight
(water
and
load) of
400
lbs
(1
80
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.
Installation
clearances
The
location
must be
large
enough
to
allow the
washer
door
to
be
fully
opened.
Additional
spacing should
be
considered
for
ease
of
installation
and
servicing.
Additional
clearances might
be
required
for wall,
door,
and
floor
moldings.
Additional
spacing
of
1
"
(2.5
cm) on
all
sides
of
the
washer
is
recommended
to
reduce
noise
transfer.
Companion
appliance spacing should
also
be
considered.
