FOUR SIMPLE STEPS TO HELP ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY.
Step 1 – Measure the Washer/Dryer Space
Carefully measure the opening where the washer & dryer will be installed. Take door, oor and wall moldings into consideration.
Note: It is important to allow 5" of extra space for venting the dryer. Also, allow 1" on all sides of both the washer and dryer to reduce noise.

Step 2 – Walk the Delivery Path
■ Starting at the point where the washer and dryer will be unloaded from the delivery truck, walk the path the machines will take from there
to the laundry room.
■ Measure every gate, doorway, corner, stairway, and any other narrow place in the delivery path.
■ Check the measuring hints in Step 3 to make sure you don’t miss any obstructions.
Step 3 – Measure Possible Obstructions
Measure the opening of any gates, arbor, etc. to make sure it is at least as wide as the washer and/or dryer.
Doors:
■ Open the door and measure the distance
from the edge of the door to the door
jamb.
■ With the door open, measure from jamb
to jamb.
■ Measure the screen door from frame
to frame if it is narrower than the door
jambs.
■ If your screen door has a closer and/
or a latch, measure from the latch to the
closer bracket.
Halls & Corners:
■ Measure the narrowest spots in hallways.
Look for items mounted on walls, such
as shelves, that might make the passage
narrower.
■ Measure corners, such as stairway
landings. If both sides of a corner are
narrow, you may not be able to make the
turn with the appliance.

Step 4 – Prepare for a Smooth Installation
■ If the doorway is too narrow and the door cannot be opened fully, remove the door. Fixed pin hinges will need to be unscrewed to remove
the door.
■ Handrails may have to be removed from narrow stairs.
■ If the space is not deep enough for the appliances PLUS a dryer duct, you may need to use special venting components. Ask your sales
associate for more information.
