Installation Requirements

Location requirements

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
1. A water heater set to deliver 120°F ( 49°C) water to the washer.
2. 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."
3. 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 - 1 00 psi ( 1 3 7. 9 - 6 8 9.6 kPa).
4. A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm)under entire washer.Installing the washer
on soft floor surfaces,such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing.is not recommended.
5. A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 200lbs.

remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.

opens more than 90 ,and it is nor reversible.
