To ensure a trouble-free and quick delivery and installation of your new washer and dryer, measure the space first. You will also need to ensure the space has everything the washer and dryer needs to be supported and hooked up.

Spacing
• Width: For proper air circulation, add 1 in. of space on either side of the width of the washer
• Depth: Add 6 in. of space to the depth of the washer to accommodate the hookup and door clearance
• Height: Top-load models should have at least 20 in. of clearance above the door of the machine

Required connections:
• Hot and cold water lines (must be within 3 ft. of washer hookups)
• A 3- or 4-prong power cord
• Wastewater drain connection

A perfectly flat floor is preferable for installation; be sure the floor has no more than a 1-in. slope. If installing on an upper floor in your home, make sure the floor is properly reinforced to support the weight of the machine.
