Before You Start
Tools
For most installations, the basic tools you will need
are:
Figure 1
Water
Washer needs two standard 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) water
supply faucets with a pressure between 20 and
120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa). For more
detailed information, refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements.
Gas
Dryer is equipped for Natural Gas with a 3/8 in. N.P.T.
gas supply connection. For more detailed information,
refer to section on Gas Requirements.
Location
Place the unit on a solid floor with an adequate air
supply. For more detailed information, refer to section
on Location Requirements.
Exhaust
Use rigid metal duct and exhaust the dryer to the
outside by the shortest route possible.
NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to
section on Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
Figure 2
Electrical
●WASHER
Refer to serial plate for specific electrical
requirements. For more detailed information,
refer to section on Washer Electrical
Requirements.
●ELECTRIC DRYER
Dryer needs a 3 or 4 wire 120/240 or 120/208 Volt,
60 Hertz, 30 Amperes, AC single phase electrical
supply. For more detailed information, refer to
section on Electric Dryer Electrical
Requirements.
●GAS DRYER

Installing the Unit
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
NOTE: If the unit is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate
it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Move unit so that it is within 4 ft. (1.2 meters) of the
desired area of installation.
Figure 3
Step 2: Connect Water Inlet Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting water inlet hoses.
Remove the four plain rubber washers from
accessories bag, and install them according to Figure 4.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated building, it is very important to flush the
lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger-tight, then approximately
1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.

Step 3: Connect Drain Hose to Drain
Receptacle
Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on
the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the
retainer clamp or by removing the shipping tape.
Find the instructions, on the following pages, that are
appropriate for your type of drain receptacle
(standpipe, sink, wall, or laundry tub). Follow these
instructions to properly install the drain hose.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/4 in. (3.2 cm) outside
diameter drain hose.
Figure 6
Standpipe Installation
Place the drain hose into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories
bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and
tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. This will
prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain
receptacle during use.

Sink Installation
For this type of installation, use the beaded tie-down
strap (supplied in accessories bag), or use a large wire
tie (available from your local hardware store) and
secure the drain hose to the cabinet top hinge (refer to
Figure 8). This will prevent the drain hose from
dislodging during use.
Figure 8
In-the-Wall Installation
For installations of this type, the drain hose MUST
be secured to one of the inlet hoses using the beaded
tie-down strap from accessories bag.
NOTE: End of drain hose must not be below 24 in.
Figure 9
Laundry Tub Installation
For this type of installation, the drain hose MUST be
secured to the stationary tub to prevent hose from
dislodging during use. Use the beaded tie-down strap
(supplied in accessories bag) to secure hose.

connection at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you
do not damage the pipe threads when removing
the cap.
3. Connect to gas supply pipe using a new flexible
stainless steel connector.
4. Tighten all connections securely. Turn on gas and
check all pipe connections (internal and external)
for gas leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
5. For L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) gas connection,
refer to section on Gas Requirements.

Step 6: Connect Dryer Exhaust System
For further assistance, refer to sections on Location
Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
●DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
●Locate unit so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.
●Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
●Use 4 in. (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible
metal duct.
●The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
●Use as few elbows as possible.
●Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints.
●Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.
●Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
warranty.
Figure 14
NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the
unit (obtain locally).
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.

Step 7: Position and Level the Unit
Place unit in position on a clean, firm and reasonably
level floor. Installing the unit on any type of carpeting
is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust the front and rear
leveling legs until the unit is level from side to side and
front to back (using a level). Unit should not rock.
NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top
panel. Refer to Figure 15.
Tighten the locknuts securely against the unit base
using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not tight,
unit will move out of position during operation.
NOTE: DO NOT slide unit more than four feet
across floor if the leveling legs have been extended,
as legs and base could become damaged.
NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer or
dryer doors as handles in the transportation of the
unit may cause damage to the dispenser or doors.
Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on
all four leveling legs.
NOTE: For further assistance, refer to section on
Location Requirements.
Figure 15
Units elevated above floor level must be
anchored to that elevated surface, base or
platform. The material used to elevate the
unit should also be anchored to the floor to
ensure that the unit will not walk or that the
unit can not be physically pulled, tipped or
slid from its installed position. Failure to do
so may result in conditions which can
produce serious injury, death and/or
property damage.

Heat Source Check
Electric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
Gas Dryers
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red
and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a
luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it
back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft
blue flame.
c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper
flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew
securely.
d. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
Figure 23
For personal safety, lower front panel of
dryer must be in place during normal
operation.
