Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials
and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not install in a garage.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Select proper location for your washer to improve performance
and minimize noise and possible "washer walk". Install your
washer in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area.
You will need:
[] A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
See "Venting Requirements."
[] A separate 30-amp circuit.
[] If you are using a power supply cord, 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 Ibs (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.
[] 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 32°F
(0°C). 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:
[] 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.

(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian

MH.
Mobile home installations require:
[] Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for
