Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, 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.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered. 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 6 ft (1.8 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water faucets located within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 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 with a total weight
(washer, water and load) of 550 lbs (249 kg).
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. See "Washer Care" for winterizing information.
