EXIGENCES D'EMPLACEMENT
Il vous faudra :
Un emplacement permettant une évacuation appropriée.■
Voir “Exigences concernant l'évacuation”.
Si on utilise un cordon d'alimentation, une prise électrique■
avec liaison à la terre située à moins de 2 pi (610 mm) de
l'un des côtés de la sécheuse. Voir “Spécications
électriques”.
Le plancher doit supporter le poids de la sécheuse de■
200 lb (90,7 kg). Il faut également prendre en compte le
poids des appareils ménagers voisins.
Des robinets d'eau froide situés à 4 pi (1,2 m) maximum■
des valves de remplissage, et une pression d'eau de 20 à
100 lb/po² (137,9 à 689,6 kPa). L'alimentation en eau de
la laveuse peut être utilisée avec le connecteur en “Y” et
le tuyau court (si nécessaire) fournis.
20 à 100 lb/po² (138 à 690 kPa) pour un rendement optimal.■
Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de■
1" (25 mm) sous l'ensemble de la sécheuse. Si la pente
est supérieure à 1" (25 mm), installer un ensemble de
pieds d'extension pour sécheuse, pièce n° 279810. Si
la sécheuse n'est pas d'aplomb, le linge peut ne pas
culbuter convenablement, et les programmes automatiques
commandés par détecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner
correctement.
Pour l'installation dans un garage, placer la sécheuse■
à au moins 18" (460 mm) au-dessus du sol. En cas
d'utilisation d'un piédestal, il faudra 18" (460 mm)
jusqu'au fond de la sécheuse.
Pour chaque aménagement, prévoir davantage d'espace pour
faciliter l'installation et l'entretien; des espacements pour les
appareils voisins, les murs, les portes et les plinthes. L'espace
doit être assez grand pour ouvrir complètement la porte. Ajouter
un espacement sur tous les côtés de la sécheuse pour réduire le
transfert du bruit. Si une porte de placard ou une porte à claire-
voie est installée, des ouvertures de ventilation en haut et en bas
sont nécessaires.
