Whirlpool CAE2743BQ Installationsanweisungen

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.

risers to provide an air cushion and avoid noise and damage  

 

to valves.

washer. Installing on carpet is not recommended.

of 315 lbs (143 kgs).
