Safety Information
Explanation of Safety Messages
Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you
will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,”
“WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific
instructions. These precautions are intended for the
personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and
those maintaining the machine.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

related.
Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the unit.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the unit.
3. Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the unit.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the unit is used near children. This is a safety rule
for all appliances.
6. Before the unit is removed from service or
discarded, remove the doors to the washing and
drying compartments.

Installing the Unit
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
Move unit so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the
desired area of installation.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install unit on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. DO NOT install the unit on carpeting,
soft tile, pedestal, a platform or other weakly
supported structures.
Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses
Water Supply
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch
(19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT
USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 60o to
80oFahrenheit (16oto 27oCelsius). Recommended
maximum hot water temperature is 125oFahrenheit
(51oCelsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold
water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon
water temperature and pressure of both the hot and
cold water supply lines.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a
maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to
827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per
square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill
time in the washer and may not properly flush out
the detergent dispenser.
Turn on the water faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
material that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated buildings, it is very important to flush
the lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
Connecting Hoses
Insert each filter screen into the end of each fill hose
that will connect to the water supply faucet. The
screen must be facing outward. Refer to Figure 2.
Insert each plain rubber washer into the other end of
each fill hose that will connect to the water mixing
valve at the rear of the washer. Refer to Figure 2.
Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger-
tight, then approximately 1/4 turn with pliers.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings.
Washer and dryer are not designed to be
operated as separated, side-by-side units.
W187
CAUTION
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot water system has not been used
for such a period and before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS
FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE
AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
W029
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact
with inlet water temperatures higher than
125°Fahrenheit (51°Celsius) and hot
surfaces.
W748
CAUTION

802957
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subject to.
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
checkout and demonstration. Turn off water supply
whenever there will be an extended period of non-
use.
NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with
the washer) are not long enough for the
installation. Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Fill Hose (8 feet) (2.44 m)
No. 20618 Fill Hose (10 feet) (3.05 m)
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets (refer to Figure 4).

Step 3: (Non-Gravity Drain Models Only)
Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle
Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on
the rear of the washer by removing the shipping tape.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1 3/8 inch (3.5 cm) outside
diameter drain hose.
Standpipe Installation:
Place the drain hose into the standpipe.
Remove the beaded strap from accessories bag and
place around standpipe and drain hose and tighten
strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure 5. This
will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain
receptacle during use.
Step 4: (Gravity Drain Models Only)
Connect Drain Outlet to Drain System
Remove drain fitting (four inches long) and hose
clamp from accessories bag. Insert drain fitting into
drain outlet hose. Clamp hose and fitting.
Connect the drain fitting to a vented drain system
using a flexible connection (obtain locally). Inside
diameter of fitting is 1.53 in. (3.89 cm) and outside
diameter is 1.66 in. (4.22 cm). The drain system must
be vented to prevent an air lock or siphoning.
IMPORTANT: Increasing the drain hose length,
installing elbows, or causing bends will decrease
drain flow rates and increase drain times,
impairing machine performance.

Step 5: (Gas Dryer Only) Connect Gas
Supply Pipe
1. Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with
the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is
equipped at the factory for Natural Gas with a
3/8 inch NPT gas connection.
NOTE: The gas service to a gas dryer must
conform with the local codes and ordinances, or in
the absence of local codes and ordinances, with the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft3(37.3 MJ/m3) service must
be supplied at minimum 5.0 inch water column
pressure to maximum 10.5 inch water column
pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 2000 feet
(610 m) the natural gas valve spud orifice size must be
reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to
Table 1.
2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas
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.
To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or
explosion:
• The dryer must be connected to the type
of gas as shown on nameplate located in
the door recess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel
connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P.
(Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape,
on all pipe threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply
line before connecting it to the dryer.
Before tightening the connection, purge
remaining air from gas line to dryer until
odor of gas is detected. This step is
required to prevent gas valve
contamination.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
• Any disassembly requiring the use of
tools must be performed by a suitably
qualified service person.

NOTE: When connecting to a gas line, an
equipment shut-off valve must be installed within
6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryer. An 1/8 in. NPT pipe plug
must be installed as shown for checking inlet
pressure. Refer to Figure 7.
4. Tighten all connections securely. Turn on gas and
check all pipe connections (internal & external)
for gas leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
NOTE: The dryer and its appliance main gas valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
Refer to Step 9 (Check Heat Source).
L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas, 2500 Btu/ft3
(93.1 MJ/m3) service must be supplied at 10 ± 1.5 inch
water column pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 3500 feet
(1070 m) the L.P. gas valve spud orifice size must be
reduced to ensure complete combustion. Refer to
Table 2.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. Gas
Service without converting the gas valve. Install
L.P. Gas Conversion Kit 458P3, available at extra
cost.

Grounding Information
This appliance 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. The cord-kit must be
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.
Do not modify the plug provided with the cord-kit - if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single phase
circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit, fused at 30
Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of
the line). Electrical service for the dryer should be
of maximum rated voltage (208 or 240 Volt,
depending on heating element) listed on the
nameplate. Do not connect dryer to 110, 115, or 120
Vol t c irc u it .
Heating elements are available for field installation in
dryers which are to be connected to electrical service
of different voltage than that listed on nameplate, such
as 208 Volt.
NOTE: Branch circuit wire size requirements to
laundry room outlet are shown in Table 3.
The power cord connection between wall receptacle
and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with
dryer. Type of power cord and gauge of wire must
conform to local codes.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the dryer is properly
grounded.
