Your installation may require additional parts. For ordering
information, please refer to the toll free phone numbers on the
front page of your “Washer User Instructions.”
Location Requirements
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 5-100 psi
(34.5-690 kPa). Washers with triple dispensers require
20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
■
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 weight (washer, water
and load) of 315 lbs (143 kgs).
