STACKED WASHER/GAS DRYER INSTALLATION

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:

n Do not ground to a gas pipe.

n 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.

having a 3-prong grounding plug.

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.

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
