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 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

• 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."

• Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (91 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.

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 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 315 Ibs (143 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" in the Washer User Instructions for winterizing information.
