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, 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 taps located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the hot
and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20–100 psi
(137.9–689.6 kPa).
■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
■A sturdy and solid floor 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 is not reversible.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor 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.
Recessed area installation
This washer may be installed in a recessed area. The installation
dimensions shown are the minimum spaces allowable. Additional
spacing should be considered for ease of installation and
servicing. See the chart below.

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
■If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
■Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure
the washer is properly grounded.
■Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer
is within approximately 3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 shipping bolts in the rear panel of the washer that
support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts
also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are
removed.
1. Keep the washer in the upright position while removing the
shipping bolts.
Shipping bolt

Shipping bolt with plastic spacer
2. Using a ½" wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
3. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole
and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic
spacer covering the bolt.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve.
Damage to the valves can result.
Clear water lines
■Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into
a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles
in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
■Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the
hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that
the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
4. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers.
Push the power cord plug into the opening on the right side
of the rear panel and pull the power cord through the opening
on the left side of the rear panel; then close holes with the
attached cap. Do not pull plug end of power cord through
the right side hole.
5. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your
product distributor or installer. To avoid suspension and structural
damage, your washer must be properly set up for relocation
by a trained professional.

dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
Connect the Drain Hose
Remove drain hose from washer drum
1. Using locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together
and insert over the end of drain hose.
Washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain,
wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
■ Use the drain hose form and do not force excess drain hose
into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough
to provide a gap for air.
■Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
You may need additional parts. See “Floor drain” under
“Tools and Parts.”
2. Slide drain hose onto washer connection.
3. Once drain hose is in place, release pliers.
Secure the Drain Hose
Drain hose must be secured to stop the hose from moving when
water is pumped out. If the drain hose moves, water may end up
on the floor.
1. Drape the power cord over the washer top.
2. Move the washer to its final location.
3. Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe as shown.
See illustrations A and B.
