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 49°C (120°F) water to the washer.

An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m (4 ft) of where

the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See

"Electrical Requirements."

Hot and cold water faucets located within 90 cm (3 ft) of the

hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 34.5-

690 kPa (5-100 psi). Washers with triple dispensers require

138-690 kPa (20-100 psi) for best performance.

A level floor with a maximum slope of 2.5 cm (1") under entire

washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not

recommended.

A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water

and load) of 143 kg (315 lbs).

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below

0°C (32°F). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause

damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care" in the Washer

User Instructions for winterizing information.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

Additional clearances may be required for wall, door and floor

moldings.

Additional spacing of 2.5 cm (1") on all sides of the washer is

recommended to reduce noise transfer.

If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the

top and bottom of the door are required (C). Louvered doors

with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

system. Select the drain hose installation method you need. See

Standpipe drain system - wall or floor (views A & B)

The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of

5 cm (2"). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than

64 L (17 gal.) per minute. A 3.2 cm (1¹⁄₄") diameter to 2.5 cm (1")

diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Tools and

Parts."

The top of the standpipe must be at least 99 cm (39") high and no

higher than 244 cm (96") from the bottom of the washer.

The laundry tub needs a minimum 76 L (20 gal.) capacity. The top

of the laundry tub must be at least 99 cm (39") above the floor and

no higher than 244 cm (96") from the bottom of the washer.
