Installation Location
Requirements
Before installing the appliance, check the following
requirements for the installation location.
Installation Location
• A grounded electrical outlet should be located
within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the
appliance.
• Install the appliance on a level floor. (Allowable
slope under the appliance: 1°)
• The floor must be level, with a maximum slope
of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the appliance. If the
slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm), the
appliance cannot be levelled properly.
• The appliance should be easily accessible if it
needs to be serviced.
• Do not install the appliance in an area where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather. Failure
to follow this warning could result in risk of
electric shock, injury, or product damage or
malfunction.
• Do not install the appliance on a hollow or
flexible platform. Doing so may cause excessive
noise and vibration and result in damage or
injury if the appliance tips over.
NOTE
• A sturdy floor should support the total appliance
weight of 220 lb (100 kg). The combined weight
of any other laundry appliances should also be
considered.
Recommended Installation Spacing
The following clearances are recommended for
the appliance. Although the appliance has been
tested for clearances of 1 3/16 in. (3 cm) on the
sides and rear, recommended clearances should
be considered for the following reasons:
a Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) in front to open the
door.
b Allow at least 2 in. (5 cm) on both sides and
between the back of the appliance and the wall.
c Allow at least 7 3/4 in. (20 cm) between the top
of the appliance and any overhanging shelves
or cabinets.
NOTE
• If the appliance is too close to adjacent items,
performance may decrease and electricity
consumption may increase.
• Additional space should be considered on all
sides of the appliance to reduce noise transfer.
Installation Spacing for Recessed
Area or Closet Installation
There should be at least a little space around the
appliance (or any other appliance) to avoid contact
with walls, furniture, or other appliances during
operation. Allow a minimum of 1 3/16 in. (3 cm) on
all sides of the appliance to avoid increased noise
or damage.
