STACKED WASHER/ELECTRIC DRYER INSTALLATION
Stacked Washer/Electric Dryer Location
NOTE: In Australia and New Zealand, refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 –
Gas Installations.
Selecting the proper location for your washer/dryer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk. "
Your washer/dryer 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/dryer where it will
be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer/
dryer in temperatures at or below 0°C (32°F). Some water can
remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
n A water heater set to deliver 49°C (120°F) water to the washer.
n A grounded electrical outlet located within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements. "
n Hot and cold water faucets located within 1.2 m (4 ft.)
of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure
of 137.9–689.6 kPa (20–100 psi).
n A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
entire washer/dryer. Installing the washer/dryer on soft floor
surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
n A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer/dryer with a total
weight (water and load) of 204 kg (450 lbs).
n A floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads with
electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be
used only where local codes permit.

REQUIREMENTS
Stacked washer/electric dryer installation clearances
n The location must be large enough to allow the washer
and dryer doors to be fully opened.

and servicing. The doors open more than 180°. The washer door
is not reversible.
n Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
moldings.
n Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the washer/dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This washer/dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet.
This washer/dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that
of the washer/dryer. For recessed area and closet installations,
minimum clearances can be found on the warning label on the rear
of the dryer or in "Dimensions/Clearances. "
The installation spacing is in millimeters and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and
ordinances.

the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent air
openings are acceptable.
