LOCATION REQU I REMENTS
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, closet, or recessed area. See
"Drain System."
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
• A water heater set to deliver 120°F 149°C) water to the washer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (90 cm) of the hot and cold water fill
valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi/34.5-690 kPa). Washers with triple dispensers
require 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing the
washer on carpeting is not recommended.
• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kgs).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can
remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care."

• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances may 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.
• If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the top and bottom of the door
are required (C). [ ouvered doors with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
DRAIN SYSTEM
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system (floor or wall), the laundry tub
drain system, or the floor drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.
See '"ibols and Parts."
Standpipe drain system--wall or floor (views A & B)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (5 cm). The minimum
carry-away capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 1V,¢ (3.2 cm) diameter to
1" (2.5 cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "]bols and Parts."
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no higher than 96" (244 cm/
