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.”
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 (90 cm) of the
hot and cold water ll 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 oor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
■ A sturdy oor to support the washer weight (washer, water,
and load) of 315 lbs (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 low temperatures. See “Washer Care” in the Washer
User Instructions for winterizing information.
Drain System
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system
(oor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the oor drain
system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.
See “Tools and Parts.”
Standpipe drain system—wall or oor (views A & B)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of
2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than
17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 1
diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See “Tools and Parts.”
he top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high
T
nd no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
a
IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of
drain hose should be inside the standpipe. See “Connect drain hose.”

■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances may be required for wall, door,
and oor 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 (C). Louvered doors
with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
■ 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 oor and
no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system (view D)
The oor 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.
To avoid 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.

Electrical Requirements
■ 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
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 qualied electrician.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■ Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Start
