Installation
Water
To correctly ll your Washer in the proper
amount of time, water pressure of 20 to
116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause
water valve failure, or may not allow the
water valve to shut off completely, or may
extend the ll time beyond what your
Washer controls allow, causing your Washer
to turn off. A time limit is built into the
controls to prevent ooding in your home if
a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet
(122 cm) to the back of your Washer to
match the inlet hoses provided with your
Washer.
NOTE
Accessory inlet hoses are available in
various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for
faucets that are further away from the back
of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
• Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not
in use.
• Periodically check that there is no
leakage from the water inlet hose
ttings.
WARNING
Check all connections at the water valve and
faucet for leaks
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe
is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be
routed through the drain hose clip to the
standpipe. The standpipe must be large
enough to accept the outside diameter of
the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to
the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install
your washer on a solidly constructed oor.
Wood oors may need to be reinforced to
minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load
situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces
are contributing factors to vibration which
can cause your washer to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or
weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where
water may freeze, since your washer will
always retain some water in its water valve,
pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can
damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and
other components.
