Water Supply
Installation
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.
Step 1: Position Unit Near Installation
Area
Move unit as close to the desired area of installation as
possible.
Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to
permit turning them off when washer is not being
used.
o
WARNING
Washer and dryer are not designed to be
operated as separated, side-by-side units.
Recommended cold water temperature is 60 to
o
o
o
80 Fahrenheit (16 to 27 Celsius). Recommended
hot water temperature is 120 to 140 Fahrenheit
(49 to 60 Celsius). 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.

W187
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.
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.
Step 2: Connect Fill Hoses
WARNING
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.
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
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.

flammable. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

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.
Connecting Hoses
Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter
screens from the accessories bag. Install them into
screen must be facing outward.
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.
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
IMPORTANT: Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.

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.

• 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.
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
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Use a non-corrosive leak detection

less in length, No. 10 AWG wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes. If over
15 feet (4.57 m), use No. 8 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow
sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved
from its normal location when necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. Gas
Service without converting the gas valve. Install
L.P. Gas Conversion Kit 649P3, available at extra
cost.

Dryer requires 120/240 Volt or 120/208 Volt, 60 Hertz,
3 or 4 wire electrical suppy. Refer to serial plate for
specific electrical requirements.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located behind the
control panel, inside the control cabinet.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death, all wiring and
grounding MUST conform with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
customer’s responsibility to have the wiring

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the unit with
a 7/8 inch deep well socket. All four legs must rest
firmly on the floor so the weight of the unit is evenly
distributed. The unit must not rock and must be level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.

Before using the washer and dryer for the first time,
use an all-purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water
solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust
from inside the drums.
IMPORTANT: The shipping brace, bolts,
lockwashers and shock sleeves should be saved and
MUST be reinstalled whenever the unit is moved
more than 4 ft. (1.22 m). Do not lift or transport
unit from front or without shipping materials
installed. Refer to the Washer User’s Guide for
proper instructions on reinstalling the shipping
materials.
Store the shipping materials in the accessories bag.

The dryer is designed to be operated on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit

circuit breaker.
Step 10: Plug In the Washer and Dryer
Electric Dryer
Connect the dryer to an electrical power source. Refer
to Step 4 for information on connecting power cord.
The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord
should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot

determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.
Grounding Information
The dryer 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 dryer is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a 3 prong grounding plug. The three-prong
grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged
directly into a polarized three-slot effectively
grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts AC
(alternating current) 15 Amps.
Connect to 30 Amp circuit.

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Dryer User’s Guide supplied with the
unit); the unit will start, the igniter will glow red and
the main burner will ignite.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.

After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to
the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
