Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washing machine improves performance, minimizes noise and
prevents possible washer “walk”. Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, in a
basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. Refer to Page 12, “Drain System Options”.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered. Proper installation is your
responsibility.
You Will Need
1. A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
2. A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the
back of the washer. Refer to Page 8, “Electrical Requirements”.
3. 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 (137.9 - 689.6 kPa) .
4. A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on soft
floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
5. A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 200lbs.
6. 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.
Installation Clearances
1. The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be fully opened.
2. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens
more than 90° and it is NOT reversible.
3. Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
4. Additional spacing of 1” (25mm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise
transfer.
5. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Gather the required tools and parts before
starting installation. The parts supplied are in
the washer drum.
