Dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for closet door ventilation openings which are minimum required. This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of

0 mm (0") clearance on the sides. Consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings.

Add spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.

DRAIN SYSTEM

Drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need.

Floor standpipe drain system

Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 51 mm (2"). Minimum carry-away capacity: 64 L (17 gal.) per minute. Top of standpipe must be at least 990 mm (39") high; install no higher than 2.44 m (96") from bottom of washer. If you must install higher than

2.44 m (96"), you will need a sump pump system.

Wall standpipe drain system

See requirements for floor standpipe drain system.

Floor drain system

Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number 285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285385), and an Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863) that may be purchased separately. To order, contact your dealer. Minimum siphon break: 710 mm (28") from bottom of washer. (Additional hoses may be needed.)

Laundry tub drain system

Minimum capacity: 76 L (20 gal.). Top of laundry tub must be at least 990 mm (39") above floor; install no higher than 2.44 m (96") from bottom of washer.

IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 114 mm (4.5") of drain hose should be inside standpipe or below the top of wash tub. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap.
