STACKED WASHER/ELECTRIC DRYER INSTALLATION
Stacked Washer/Electric Dryer Location
Selecting the proper location for your Washer/Dryer improves
performance and minimises noise and possible Washer "walk."
Your Washer/Dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry
room, or recessed area. See "Drain System."
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the Washer/Dryer where
it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the
Washer/Dryer in temperatures at or below 0°C (32°F). Some
water can remain in the Washer and can cause damage in low
temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A water heater set to deliver 49°C (120°F) water to the
͜
Washer.
An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of
͜
where the power cord is attached to the back of the Washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water faucets located within 1.2 m (4 ft.) of the
͜
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 137.9–
689.6 kPa (20–100 psi).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
͜
entire Washer/Dryer. Installing the Washer/Dryer on soft floor
surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is
not recommended.
A sturdy and solid floor to support the Washer/Dryer with a
͜
total weight (water and load) of 204 kg (450 lbs).
A floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads
͜
with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities
should be used only where local codes permit.
Stacked Washer/electric dryer installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the Washer and
͜
dryer doors to be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
͜
installation and servicing. The doors open more than 180°.
The Washer door is not reversible.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
͜
floor mouldings.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This Washer/Dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet.
This Washer/Dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the Washer/Dryer in such a way that a full opening of the
Washer/Dryer door is restricted. For recessed area and closet
installations, minimum clearances can be found on the warning
label on the rear of the dryer or in "Dimensions/Clearances."
The installation spacing is in millimeters and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air
opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with
equivalent air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the Washer/Dryer.
