possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See
"Drain System."

Proper installation is your responsibility.

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 0°C (32°F). Some water can
remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing allowed (A and B), except the closet
door ventilation openings. The dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings (C)
are the minimum required.
A water heater set to deliver 60°C (140°F) water to the washer.
An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m (4 ft) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water taps located within 90 cm (3 ft) of the hot and cold water fill valves,
and water pressure of 34.5-690 kPa (5-100 psi). Washers with triple dispensers require
138-690 kPa (20-100 psi) for best performance.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 2.5 cm (1") under entire washer. Installing the
washer on carpeting is not recommended. Ventilation openings in the base must not be
