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 (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
20-100 psi (138-690 kPa).
•
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 kg).
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" for winterizing
information.
