Installation
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
Move unit as close to the desired area of installation as
possible.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install washer 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 washer on carpeting,
soft tile, 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
hot water temperature is 120oto 140oFahrenheit
(49oto 60oCelsius). 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.
Washer and dryer are not designed to be
operated as separated, side-by-side units.
W187
WARNING
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.

Connecting Hoses
Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter
screens from the accessories bag. Install them into
each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 2. The
screen must be facing outward.
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the
water faucets until they are finger-tight. Then, using a
pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the
water mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Then,
using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn. Refer to
Figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
turn off the water, unscrew hoses and reinstall them
until there are no leaks.
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply whenever
there will be an extended period of non-use.
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 yearly 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
check-out and demonstration. Owner should 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: 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 and by removing the shipping tape.
Install the drain hose into the drain receptacle
(standpipe, wall or laundry tub) following the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT: Drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 1-1/4 inch (32 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.

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/CGA-B149, National
Gas Installation Code.
Natural Gas, 1000 Btu/ft3(37.3 MJ/m3) service must
be supplied at 6.5 ± 1.5 inch water column pressure.
For proper operation at altitudes above 3000 feet
(915 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.
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 8.
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.
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.
(Liquified 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
