Stacked Washer/Gas Dryer Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: The washer/dryer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes
permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that
a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path
is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
■
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this washer/dryer be provided.
This washer/dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having
■
a 3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be plugged
■
into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
■
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
■
washer/dryer is properly grounded.
