If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is

recommended to control the buildup of scale through the

water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime

scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will

reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may

lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

EXIGENCES D'EMPLACEMENT

Il vous faudra :

Un emplacement permettant une évacuation appropriée. ■

Voir “Exigences concernant l'évacuation”.

Si on utilise un cordon d'alimentation, une prise électrique ■

avec liaison à la terre située à moins de 2 pi (610 mm) de

l'un des côtés de la sécheuse. Voir “Spécications

électriques”.

Le plancher doit supporter le poids de la sécheuse de ■

200 lb (90,7 kg). Il faut également prendre en compte le

poids des appareils ménagers voisins.

Des robinets d'eau froide situés à 4 pi (1,2 m) maximum ■

des valves de remplissage, et une pression d'eau de 20 à

100 lb/po² (137,9 à 689,6 kPa). L'alimentation en eau de

la laveuse peut être utilisée avec le connecteur en “Y” et

le tuyau court (si nécessaire) fournis.

20 à 100 lb/po² (138 à 690 kPa) pour un rendement optimal. ■

Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de ■

1" (25 mm) sous l'ensemble de la sécheuse. Si la pente

est supérieure à 1" (25 mm), installer un ensemble de

pieds d'extension pour sécheuse, pièce n° 279810. Si

la sécheuse n'est pas d'aplomb, le linge peut ne pas

culbuter convenablement, et les programmes automatiques

commandés par détecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner

correctement.

Pour l'installation dans un garage, placer la sécheuse ■

à au moins 18" (460 mm) au-dessus du sol. En cas

d'utilisation d'un piédestal, il faudra 18" (460 mm)

jusqu'au fond de la sécheuse.

Pour chaque aménagement, prévoir davantage d'espace pour

faciliter l'installation et l'entretien; des espacements pour les

appareils voisins, les murs, les portes et les plinthes. L'espace

doit être assez grand pour ouvrir complètement la porte. Ajouter

un espacement sur tous les côtés de la sécheuse pour réduire le

transfert du bruit. Si une porte de placard ou une porte à claire-

voie est installée, des ouvertures de ventilation en haut et en bas

sont nécessaires.
