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 fill valves, and water pressure of
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) 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 Ibs (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.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
