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. ■

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

Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.

Electrical Requirements

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" (50 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 10 gal. (38 L) per minute.

The top of the standpipe must be at least 30" (762 mm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

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 30" (762 mm) above the oor.

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" (710 mm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.

■ 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 qualied electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is ■ recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. ■ Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the ■

washer is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. ■

WARNING
