Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi (137- 800kPa) is required.

Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal hose becoming loose and flooding your home.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.

[_ ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that

are further away from the back of your Washer.

Toavoid the possibility of water damage:

• Have water faucets easily accessible Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.

Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.

Z_ CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.

WARNING

Drain facility

The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in/46 cm. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, your Washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration may cause your washer to move slightly

during the spin cycle. Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage to the

belts, the pump, hoses and other components.

Alcove or closet installation

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides - 1 in/ 25 mm Top - 17 in / 432 mm Rear - 4 in / 102 mm Closet Front - 2 in/ 51 mm

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in2(465 cm*) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.

STEP 3

Installing your Washer

1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be sure an airtight connection is NOT made between the drain hose and the standpipe. The standpipe must be at least 18 in or 46

cm high.

_ Caution must always be exercised to

avoid collapsing or damaging the drain hose. For best results, the drain hose

should not be restricted in any way - by elbows, couplings, or excessive lengths.

For situations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently elevated to at

least 18 in or 46 cm, the drain hose must be supported.
