Standpipe drain system - wall or floor (view I & 2)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of
2 in. (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less
than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute.
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39 in. (99 cm) high and
no higher than 96 in. (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,
closet, or recessed area. (See "Drain System.")
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
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 4 ft (1.2 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
10-190 psi (34.5-696 kPa). 20-196 psi (138-696 kPa) for best
performance.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water
and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kg).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below
32°F (9°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care" in the
Washer User Instructions for winterizing information.

of the laundry tub must be at least 39 in. (99 cm) above the floor
and no higher than 96 in. (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system (view 2)

purchased separately. See "Alternate Parts."
