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 considered. 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 ll valves, and water pressure of
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
A level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under ■
entire washer. Installing the washer on soft oor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
A sturdy and solid oor to support the washer with a total ■
weight (water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage
in low temperatures.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the washer ■
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 ■
oor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer ■
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.■
Washer Dimensions
You have the option of purchasing pedestals separately for this
washer. The pedestal will add to the total height of the washer.

The top of the laundry tub must be at least 30" (762 mm)
above the oor.
■ 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. ■
