LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
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, or recessed area.
See “Drain System.”
Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.

- Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of hot and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). A pressure reduction valve should be used in the supply line where inlet pressure entering the building exceeds 100 psi (690 kPa) to avoid damage to the washer mixing valve.
