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.
Selecting the proper location for your washer/dryer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer/dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,

water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low
temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements".
■ Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
20 psi-100 psi (137.9 kPa-689.6 kPa).
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire washer/dryer. Installing the washer/dryer on soft floor
surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is
not recommended.
■ A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer/dryer with a
total weight (water and load) of 450 lbs (204 kg).
■ A floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads
with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities
should be used only where local codes permit.

Stacked washer/electric dryer installation clearances:
■ The location must be large enough to allow the washer and
dryer doors to be fully opened.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The doors open more than 180°.
The washer door is not reversible.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer/
dryer is recommended to reduce noise transfer, and improve
spin-up performance of washer.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Recessed area installation instructions:
This washer/dryer may be installed in a recessed area. For
recessed area minimum clearances can be found on the warning
label on the rear of the dryer. The installation spacing is in inches
