be installed or stored in an area where rt
will be exposed to water and/or
weather Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct
installation.

faucets: Must be within
4 feet of the back of
the washer/dryer and
provide water pressure
of 5 100 PSh
Level floor:
1-inch maximum
slope under entire
washer/dryer.
Do Not store or operate washer/dryer
below 32°F (some water may remain in
washer), proper operation of dryer
cycles requires temperatures above
45°F. See Use & Care Guide for
"Winterizing" information.
Check code requirements: Some codes
limit or do not permit installation of
clothes dryers _ngarages, closets,
mobile homes and sleeping quarters.
Contact your local building inspector.
Chock utilities: Proper, water and
electrical supply connections must be
available.
Water heater: Set to deliver 140_F
water to the washer
tub drain system: Needs a
allan laundry tub. Top of tub
must be at least 34 inches high and
no higher than 72 inches from floor,
If a longer drain hose is needed,
drain hose (Part NO. 388423) and

receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R (see
Figure 3). The fourth wire (ground
conductor) must be identified with a
green cover and the neutral conductor

copper wires to match a three-wire
receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R (see
Figure 4).
Direct wire
The washer/dryer can be connected
directly to fused disconnect or circuit
breaker box with four-wire or three-wire
flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable (with ground
wire), Do Not use two-wire with bare
ground wire All current-carrying wires
must be insulated
A conduit connector must be installed
at junction box. USEONLY 10 GAUGE

ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow four feet of slack
in the line so dryer can be moved if

Electrical connection
Thisdryer ismanufactured with the
cabinet-ground conductor connected
to the NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring
harness at the terminal block If local
codes do NOT permit this type of
connection, use "Four wire connection"
Instructions
GROUND INSTRUCTIONS: Thisappliance
must be grounded. Jnthe event of
malfunction or breakdown, ground will
reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
If using a power supply cord, the plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances,
If using a direct wire connection, this
appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-ground
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment ground terminal or lead on
the appliance
WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment ground conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock Check
with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power
supply cord plug, If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow
the procedure below:
a) Connect a section of 8 gauge solid
copper wire to the connector block.
b) Connect the aluminum wiring to the
added section of copper wire using
special connectors designed and
Underwriters Laboratories Listed for
joining copper to aluminum Follow
the electrical connector
manufacturer's recommended
procedure.
c) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and
industry accepted wiring practices.

Exhaust requirements
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to do so can result In death or
fire.
Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
It is recommended that you exhaust
your dryer to the outside for best
performance. Molsture and lint indoors
may cause:
• Lint to gather around the dryer where
it can be fue! for a fire.
• Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health
problems.
Ifthe washer/dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, it must be
exhausted to the outside and prevision
must be made for enough air for
ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances Also refer to the "Recessed
and closet installation instructions" on
Panel G
Dura Safe TM vent products are
recommended and are available from
your qealer. See Panel G.
Four-inchdlameler vent b required.
Usea heavy metal vent. Do not use p_sltc or

• Do Not use non-metal fle_ble vent, or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
• Do Not exhaust d_/er into o chimney,

or any other vent used for ven_ng
• Do Not installflexible vent in enclosed wall_
ceilings or floors.

Remove excess flexi_e vent to avoid
sagging and kinldng that may result in
reduced air flow,
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust
vent to prevent rodents and insects from
entering the home.
Exhoud out_t hood must be at least 12
inches from the ground or
any object that may be In

Useclamps to seal alljoints. Do not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
