Stack Kit
Are you planning to stack your washer and dryer? To do so you will
need to purchase a Stack Kit.
To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your washer or
refer to the “Assistance or Service” section. Ask for Part Number
8572546.
Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a
basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain
System.”
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
consi
dered. 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 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where
the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See
“Electrical Requirements.”
■ 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).
■ 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.
■ A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with
a total weight
(water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temper
atures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low
temperatures.
5
Installation clearances
■ The location must be large enough to allow the washe
r door !
to be fully opened.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not
reversible.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer !
is recommended to reduce noise tr
ansfer.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Electrical Requirements
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,
re, or electrical shock.
WARNING
■ 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.
■ 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
accorda
nce 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 the washer
is properly grounded.
■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is
within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 transport bolts in the rear panel of
the washer that
support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts
also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are
removed.
1. On the back of the washer, loosen the 4 transport bolts using a
13 mm wrench.
2. Once t
he bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and
completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer
covering the bolt.
3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers.
Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel
and close the hole with the attached cap.
4. Co
ver the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your
local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage,
your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified
technician.
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses.
Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
A B
A. Coupling
B. Washer
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure washer drum is empty and flat washers have been placed
into hose couplings. Both hoses must be used for the washer to
work properly.
1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
2. Attac
h a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by
hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, ti
ghten the couplings with an additional !
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling or water faucet
can result. Both faucets must be turned on for the washer to work
properly.
Clear the water lines
■ Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines
that might clog the inlet valve screens.
■ Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold
water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
