(310 cm2)
3"
(76 mm)
Select proper location for your washer/dryer to improve performance and minimize noise and possible “washer walk.” Install your washer/dryer in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area.
You will need:
nA location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
A washer/dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting Requirements.”
n For 27" (69 cm) and 24" (61 cm) 240V electric models, a
separate 30 amp circuit. For 24" (61 cm) 120V electric models, a separate 20 amp circuit. For gas models, a separate 120V 15 or 20 amp circuit.
nFor 27" (69 cm) electric models using a power supply
cord, for 24" (61 cm) electric models, and for gas models, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the washer/ dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
nA sturdy oor to support the washer/dryer weight (washer/
dryer, water, and load) of 500 lbs (226.8 kg).
nA level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
washer/dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if washer/dryer is not level. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
nA water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer. nHot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water ll valves, and water pressure of 5–100 psi (34.5–689.6 kPa).
The washer/dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32ºF (0ºC). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer/Dryer Care” in the Washer/Dryer Use and Care Guide for winterizing information.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the washer/dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

(76 mm)
The spacing dimensions on the following pages are recommended for this washer/dryer. This washer/dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance at the sides and back. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:
nAdditional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
nAdditional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and oor moldings.
nAdditional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
nFor closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
NOTE: For gas models, no other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as the washer/dryer.
Mobile Home – Additional Installation Requirements
This washer/dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard, CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
nMetal exhaust system hardware, which is available
for purchase from your dealer.
nMobile Home Installation Kit Part Number 346764 (gas
models only). See “Tools and Parts” for ordering information.
nSpecial provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.

Electrical Requirements, 240V Electric Models – U.S.A.
n This washer/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 external 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.
n 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” section.
n 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:
n It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving
only this appliance be provided.
n To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, 3 or 4 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 qualied electrician.
n If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
n Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the
washer/dryer is properly grounded.
n Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
It is your responsibility:
n To contact a qualied electrical installer. n To 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.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
n 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 specied 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.
n Do not use an extension cord.
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.
Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
n 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.
n A UL Listed strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
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.
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identied 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.
3-wire
receptacle
(10-30R)
If connecting by direct wire (27" [69 cm] models only):
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be:
n Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper
cable (with ground wire), covered with exible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
n 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum). n At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.
