Your installation may require additional parts. If you are interested 
in purchasing one of the items listed here, call the toll-free 
number on the cover or in the "Assistance or Service" section.
Optional Pedestal
A pedestal may be purchased separately for this washer. This 
pedestal will add about 13 in. (33 cm) to the height of your unit for 
a total vertical height of approximately 51 in. (130 cm). 
Optional Pedestal
To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your washer 
or refer to the “Assistance or Service” section of this manual. Ask 
for model number LAB2700LQ.
Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves 
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a 
basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. (See “Drain 
System.”)
Companion appliance location requirements should also be 
considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 5 ft (1.5 m) of 
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. 
(See “Electrical Requirements.”)
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the 
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under 
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not 
recommended.
A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total 
weight (water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). 
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in 
low temperatures.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the washer door 
to be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and 
floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer 
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
