STACKED WASHER/GAS DRYER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Stacked Washer/Gas Dryer Location

Selecting the proper location for your washer/dryer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer/dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or recessed area. This washer/dryer is not intended for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle.

See the “Drain System” section for more information.

Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered.

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer/dryer 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.

You will need:

νA water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

νA grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

νHot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20–100 psi (137.9–689.6 kPa).

νA level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer/dryer. Installing the washer/dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

νA sturdy and solid floor to support the washer/dryer with a total weight (water and load) of 450 lbs (204 kg).

νA floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.

Stacked washer/gas dryer installation clearances

νThe location must be large enough to allow the washer and dryer doors to be fully opened.

νAdditional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The doors open more than 180.° The washer door is not reversible.

νAdditional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.

νAdditional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer/ dryer is recommended to reduce noise transfer and to improve spin-up performance of the washer.

νCompanion appliance spacing should also be considered.

When installing a gas dryer:

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

νCheck code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets,

or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

νMake sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and bottom sides of the washer/dryer, are free of

obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See “Recessed Area Installation Instructions” below for minimum spacing requirements.

Recessed Area Installation Instructions

This washer/dryer may be installed in a recessed area. For recessed area installations, minimum clearances can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer or in “Dimensions/ Clearances.”

The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and ordinances.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

ν Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

ν A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp, fused electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this washer/dryer be provided.

νThis washer/dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

νTo minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

ν If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

ν Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer/dryer is properly grounded.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Dryer Electrical Requirements

It is your responsibility:

νTo contact a qualified electrical installer.

νTo be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996 and dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

νTo supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

νDo not use an extension cord.

νIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

νThis dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center

or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.

νIf local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see the “Optional 3-wire connection” section.

νA 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations and (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.

Electric Dryer Power Supply Cord

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

νA UL Listed 30 amp power supply cord, rated 240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or “U” shaped spade terminals with upturned ends.

νA UL Listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL Listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.

If your outlet looks like this:

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL Listed strain relief. The

3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

*Minimum clearance above any accumulation of snow,

ice, or debris such as leaves

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.

The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1⁄2" (13 mm) larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.

Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

Multiple Dryer Venting

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

air ow

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30.°

DRYER GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Type of Gas

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is certified by UL for use with propane gas with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed on gas valve burner base.

Gas Supply Line

Recommended Method

Provide a gas supply line of 1⁄2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

With propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1⁄2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m2).

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3⁄8" (10 mm) approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the dryer to the gas supply line (the gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3⁄8"

[10 mm] male pipe thread).

NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line when moving the dryer.

Rigid Pipe Connection

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to dryer.
