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.”)
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need
■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°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 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
5-100 psi {34.5-689.6 kPa). For best dispenser performance,
20 psi (138.0 kPa) or above is recommended.
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
■ A sturdy floor to support the washer with a total weight (water
and load) of 315 lbs (143 kgs).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in
low temperatures.
