(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 gas washer/dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting Requirements.”
nA grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of
either side of the washer/dryer. See “Electrical Requirements”.
nA separate 15- or 20-amp circuit. 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.

The spacing dimensions above are recommended for this washer/dryer. This washer/dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the sides. 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: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a 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. See “Tools
and Parts” section for information on ordering.
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.
