Parts needed:
Check local codes and with gas supplier, check existing gas
supply, electrical supply and venting, and read “Electrical
Requirements,” “Gas Supply Requirements,” and “Venting
Requirements” before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require special parts (listed following)
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, please reference the
“Assistance or Service” section of the Washer/Dryer User
Instructions.
Mobile Home Installation Kit. Ask for Part Number 346764.
Metal exhaust system hardware.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas
washer/dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
“Venting Requirements.”
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of
either side of the washer/dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
A sturdy floor to support the washer/dryer weight (washer/
dryer, water, and load) of 500 lbs (226.8 kg).
A level floor 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.
3
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill 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 User Instructions for winterizing information.
Do not operate yo
ur dryer in temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). 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.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to open fully.

(0 mm) clearance on the sides. Recommended spacing should be
considered for the following reasons:
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer/dryer:
This washer/dryer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This washer/dryer is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the washer/dryer
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the washer/dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is also recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
To minimize possible shock hazard, 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.
IMPORTANT: The washer/dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or
with the
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer/dryer is properly grounded.

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
