Location Requirements
Washers should be installed on a level concrete floor on the
ground level of a building; they can also be installed on an
elevated concrete pad up to 12" (300 mm) above the surrounding
floor. Consult a structural engineer to approve other locations.
The 18 and 25 lb. washers can also be mounted on an elevated
metal base up to 12" (300 mm) high.
Proper installation is your responsibility. The installation must
meet all governing codes and ordinances.
You will need:
The washer should be located in a building and not directly
■
exposed to the weather. The temperature of the building
should be 40–95°F (5–35°C) during operation.
A hot water heater set between 120–160°F (49–80°C).
■
Valved hot and cold water supply (3/4" male NPT fitting)
■
within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the washer with a water pressure
between 43 and 73 PSI (0.3–0.5 MPa).
A dedicated, GFCI-equipped circuit for each washer (see
■
"Electrical Requirements").
Adequate sanitary sewer drainage located behind the
■
washers.
A solid concrete floor or slab capable of withstanding the
■
weight and vibration produced by the washer. The maximum
slope of the floor is 1" (25 mm) under the washer. A rough
concrete surface is preferable to a smooth or covered
surface when the washer is not secured, to keep the washer
from walking during extraction cycles.
Minimum Installation Clearances:
The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to
open completely.
There should be adequate access behind and above the
■
washer for maintenance and service.
