IMPORTANT: Do not install, store, or operate washer where it
will be exposed to weather or in temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
Water remaining in washer after use may cause damage in low
temperatures. See “Washer Care” in your Use and Care Guide
for winterizing information. Proper installation is your responsibility.
Location Requirements
Select proper location for your washer to improve performance
and minimize noise and possible “washer walk”. Install your
washer in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area.
Recessed area or closet installation
Dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for closet
door ventilation openings, which are the minimum required. This washer
has been tested for installation with spacing of 0 mm (0") clearance on
the sides. Consider allowing more space for ease of installation and
servicing, and spacing for companion appliances and clearances for
walls, doors, and oor moldings. Add spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides
of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is
installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
IMPORTANT: Washers that feature ventilation openings in the base
of the unit must not be obstructed by carpet.
