Recessed Area or Closet Installation
A diagram illustrates the required clearances for installing the washer in a recessed area or closet. The minimum width for the opening is 28 inches (710 mm), and the minimum height is 48 inches (1219 mm). The minimum depth is 25 inches (635 mm). The diagram also shows the required space for the water connections and drain hose, indicating a minimum depth of 17 inches (432 mm) for the recessed area and specific clearances for the recessed area or closet installation. Dimensions shown represent recommended spacing, allowing for closet door ventilation openings which are minimum requirements. This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of 6" (152 mm) clearance at the rear. Consider allowing more space for installation and service and space for the companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors and floor moldings. Add spacing of 6" (152 mm) at all sides of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door is not used for the washer, top and bottom air openings in the door are required.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
DRAIN SYSTEM
Drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need.
Floor standpipe drain system

The minimum diameter for the standpipe drain is 2 inches (51 mm), with a minimum carry-away capacity of 17 gallons (64 L) per minute. If the installation height is greater than 96 inches (2.44 m), a sump pump system is needed.

This system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number 285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285835), and an Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863), which can be purchased separately. The minimum siphon break required is 28 inches (710 mm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses may be needed.
