Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in (46 cm). The drain hose must be routed
through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floor
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
CAUTION

Location consideration

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage the
pump, hoses and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 1 In.(2.5 cm)
Rear – 4 In.(10.2 cm)
If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least 72 in²(465 cm²)
of an unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

INSTALLING YOUR WASHER

STEP 1
Selecting a location
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:
• Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
• Is away from direct sunlight.
• Has adequate ventilation.
• Will not be freezing (below 32 ˚F or 0 ˚C).
• Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
• Has enough space so that the washer doesn't stand on its power cord.
