Installing your washer _11
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, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to
be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some
water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Freezing water can damage the belts,the pump, hoses and
other components.
