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:
m A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
m 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."
m Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (90 cm) 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.
m A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
m A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water,
and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kgs).
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 tow temperatures. See "Washer Care" in the Washer
User Instructions for winterizing information.
Recessed area or closet installation
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system
(floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor drain
system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.
See "Tools and Parts."

2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than
17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A I_A" (3.2 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm)
diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Tools and Parts."
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high
and no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of
drain hose should be inside the standpipe. See "Connect drain hose."
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing allowed
(A and B), except the closet door ventilation openings. The
dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings (C)
are the minimum required.

m Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation and servicing.
m Additional clearances may be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
m 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 (C). Louvered doors
with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
m
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Laundry tub drain system (view C)
The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top
of the laundry tub must be at least 39" (99 cm) above the floor and
no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system (view D)
The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be
purchased separately. See "Tools and Parts."
The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (71 cm) from the
bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.
Toavoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of drain hose
should be below the top of the wash tub. Secure drain hose
with beaded tie strap.

[] Do not ground to a gas pipe.
[] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
[] Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
m A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 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.
m This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong grounding plug.
m 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.
For a grounded, cord=connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged intoan appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance -if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
