A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 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.
Do not use an extension cord.
If 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 washer/dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire 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 wire must be removed from the internal ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground
wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” in the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
A 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, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 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 spade terminals with upturned ends.
A UL listed strain relief.

Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if
necessary to achieve the best drying performance.
If this is a new vent system
Rigid metal vent
For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are
recommended.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent
Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for
cleaning.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported
when the dryer is in its final location.
Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and
kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

Clamps
Use clamps to seal all joints.
Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.
Vent material
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used. DURASAFE™ venting products are recommended.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Install Leveling Legs
Install the front leveling feet
1. Prop up the front of the washer/dryer about 4" (10.2 cm) with
a wood block or similar object. The block needs to support the weight of the washer/dryer.
2. Screw the locknut onto each foot to within 1" (2.5 cm) of the
base.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:
Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpets, etc.
Housecleaning problems and health problems.
Remove Shipping Str ap
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer/dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To avoid floor damage, set washer/dryer onto cardboard before moving across floor. Move washer/dryer close to its final location.
1. Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow strap firmly, until
completely removed from washer/dryer. There should be 2 cotter pins on the end of the shipping strap. Remove the hang tag and pin from the vent pipe.
3. Screw the feet into the correct holes at the front corner of the
washer/dryer until the nuts touch the washer.
NOTE: Do not tighten the nuts until the washer/dryer is level.
4. Tilt the washer/dryer back and remove the wood block. Gently
lower the washer/dryer to the floor.
Connect the Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.
1. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.
2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap
water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.
3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to
open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose ¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.
¼"
(6.4 mm)
2. Tilt the washer/dryer forward. Move each of the 2 rear legs in
an up-down motion to check the self-adjusting leveling legs for free movement. This is required for proper leveling. Gently lower the washer/dryer to the floor.
3. Cut the shipping strap about 16" (40,6 cm) from the plug end.
Look for the words “CUT HERE.” Discard end with cotter pins. You will use the remaining piece of shipping strap to secure the drain hose.

4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto
drain connector on the side of the washer/dryer. Continue until hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.
5. Place clamp over the area marked “CLAMP.” Release clamp.
For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems
A
1. Make sure drain hose form is in correct position.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching
the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers.
2. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-
thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.
In the U.S.A.
A. Drain hose form
2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should
be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
For use with floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”
Connect the I nlet Hoses
1. Insert a new flat washer into each end of the inlet hoses.
Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove cardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at the top of the access panel. Set panel, screw, and bumper aside. Complete hookup of water hoses. Replace access panel upon completion of washer/dryer installation.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket
or laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount
of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using
the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
