DETERMINE LOCATION
Locate the stand in an appropriate level
area. This location should be suitable for the
size, function, and protection of the stack
stand and appliances. Use the stack stand
only for the purpose for which it was
designed. To prevent restriction of airflow,
do not use top of dryer for storage.
The proper location of all utility
connections is shown in the Utilities and
Grounding illustration. These are not all
needed in each installation, but those
used should be located according to these
dimensions so that utilities can be reached
after installation.

DETERMINE LOCATION (cont.)
Dryers
Dryer models may require different utilities;
refer to the Installation Instructions included
with your new dryer for details on required
utilities.
Refer to the Utilities and Grounding
illustration and the Dryer Installation
Instructions for details on final utility
connections and grounding information.
NOTE: All fittings and outlets must be
located so that they clear cross members
of stack stand.
Automatic Washers
All automatic washers require a hot and
cold water supply, a proper drain and a
120-volt electrical supply. Refer to the
Installation Instructions included with
your new automatic washer for detailed
installation requirements.
If the automatic washer is to be operated
in a different location (portable) and only
stored in the stack stand, those utilities
marked with an asterisk (*) in the Utilities
and Grounding illustration would not be
required at this location. They would be
required at the location where the automatic
washer is to be operated, with the exception
of the drain pipe, since the machine can be
drained into a sink or laundry tub.
NOTE: If both the automatic washer and
dryer require a 120-volt electrical supply,
TWO separate 15-ampere circuits must be
used (one for each appliance). DO NOT,
under any circumstances, connect both
appliances to the same circuit as blown
fuses will result.
