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.”

*Minimum measurement with leveling feet installed.
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 5 ft (1.5 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■■ Hot and cold water faucets located within 3½ ft (1.1 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5–100 psi (34.5–690 kPa).
■■ A level floor with a maximum slope of ¾" (1.9 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 225 lbs (102 kg).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or 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.
Recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing allowed, except the closet door ventilation openings. The dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings are the minimum required.
■■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
■■ Additional clearances may be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
■■ Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) 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. Louvered doors with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
■■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Electrical Requirements
■■ A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
■■ This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.
■■ To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
■■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
■■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure if the washer is properly grounded.
■■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Remove Shipping Material
Before you install your washer, remove all shipping material.
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the washer carton. Place cardboard under entire back of the washer.
Firmly grasp the body of the washer and gently lay it on the corner posts.
Remove plastic foam packaging from underneath the washer. Stand the washer up.
Remove tape from washer lid. Open washer lid and remove foam shipping piece, parts bag, and hoses from washer basket. Close the lid.

Instructions
■■ To avoid damage to the floor, set the washer onto cardboard before moving across floor.
■■ Move the washer to within approximately 3 ft (900 mm) of the final location.
Connect Drain Hose
1. Attach drain hose to drain port
If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, slide it over end as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide black elbow end of drain hose onto black drain port and secure with clamp.
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to Step 2.
For a floor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form as shown in Step 3. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts.”
Install Drain Hose
2. Place drain hose in standpipe
Drain hose form
4.5" 
(114 mm)
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.
6
3. Remove drain hose form (floor drain installations only)
For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts.”
Connect Inlet Hoses
The washer must be connected to the water faucets using new inlet hoses (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
4. Insert new flat washers into inlet hoses
Coupling Washer
Insert new flat washers (not provided) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
5. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
Check that the washer basket is empty.
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water faucet.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
6. Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear.
Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.
7
7. Connect inlet hoses to washer
Remove inlet cap and attach hot water hose to hot water (right) inlet valve. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water (left) inlet valve.
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
■■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
8. Check for leaks
Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
■■ If you connect only one water hose, you must cap (supplied) off the remaining water inlet port.
Secure Drain Hose
