• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Installation of unit must be performed by a qualified installer. Install clothes dryer according to manufacturer's instructions and local codes. DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil

type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer

as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Refer to section on connecting exhaust system. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

NOTE: If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below

freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the unit has had a chance to warm up.

NOTE: Some moisture in the wash drum is normal. Water is used during testing at the manufacturer.

Installation

Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation Area

Move unit as close to the desired area of installation as possible.

Figure 1

WARNING

Washer and dryer are not designed to be operated as separated, side-by-side units.

Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must be performed by a suitably

qualified service person.

W299

NOTE: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,

sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported

structures.

Dryer and Exhaust Duct Clearances

Area Description Minimum Clearance

A Left Dryer Side 0 in. (0 cm)

B Right Dryer Side 1 in. (2.54 cm) C Dryer Top 6 in. (15.24 cm)

D Dryer Rear 4 in. (10.2 era)

E Exhaust Duct Clearance to Combustible Materials 2 in. (5.1 cm)

NOTE: Shadedareas indicate adjacent structure.

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or unit doors as a handle in the transportation of the unit may cause damage to the dispenser or doors.

Place unit in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Installing the unit on any type of carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures is not

recommended.

Leveling Leg Locknut

Unit Base

Figure 3

If unit is not level, tilt unit to access the front and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling legs, prop

up unit with a wooden block. Refer to Figz_re 4. Loosen the locknuts and adjust legs by screwing into

or out of unit base.

Figure 4

Make sure that the unit does not rock. When unit is level and does not rock, tighten locknuts securely

against bottom of unit base. If these locknuts are not tight, unit will move out of position during operation.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the unit with a 7/8 inch deep well socket. All four legs must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the unit is evenly

distributed. The unit must not rock and must be level from side-to-side and front-to-back.

NOTE: Do not slide unit across floor once the

leveling legs have been extended. Legs and base could become damaged.

Place rubber feet (supplied in accessories bag) on all

four leveling legs. Refer to Figure 3. Verify that unit does not rock.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system

that has not been used for two weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If

the hot water system has not been used for such a period and before using the

washer, turn on all hot water faucets and

let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

W029

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill

time in the washer and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.

Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign

material that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve.

NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or

renovated buildings, it is very important to flush the lines since build-up may have occurred during

construction.

Water Supply

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT

USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CON2qECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being

used. Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to

80 ° Fahrenheit (16 ° to 27 ° Celsius). Recommended maximum hot water temperature is 125 ° Fahrenheit (51 ° Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold

water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.

Connecting Hoses

Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens from the accessories bag. Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 5. The screen must be facing outward.

Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Use the red

color-coded hose for the hot water connection and the blue color-coded hose for the cold water connection.

Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to

Figure 6. Make sure the red color-coded hose from the

hot water faucet goes to the water mixing valve marked "H" and the blue color-coded hose from the

cold faucet goes to the valve marked "C".

IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten couplings. This will cause them to leak.

Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them

until there are no leaks.

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet water temperatures higher than

125 ° Fahrenheit (51 ° Celsius) and hot surfaces.

W748

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn

off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses supplied with the washer are not long enough for the installation.

Order hoses as follows:

Filter Screens

Figure 5

IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may

develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subject to.

All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced every five years.

Risers

Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The

risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (refer to Figure 7).
