DRAIN FACILITY
Recommended height of the standpipe is 36”. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the
standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose is attached at the factory.
FLOORING
For best performance the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be
reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never
install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will
always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,
pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 0 in. Rear – 1 in.
Top – 2 in. Closet Front – 0 in.
The closet front must have a total unobstructed air opening of 72 sq. in. minimum. A louvered door with
equivalent air opening is acceptable.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
PLEASE READ THE PRECEDING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE
WASHING MACHINE. THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.
