Alternate method
The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm)
approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing will be
required.
If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint
compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be
used.
Shut-off valve required
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve
installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in
same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease
of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. In
Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA B149.1
and CAN/CGA B149.2.
Flexible metal appliance connector
It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line,
design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the
dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through
the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" (10 mm) male
pipe thread.)
NOTE: Do not kink or damage the flexible stainless steel gas line
when moving the dryer.
Rigid pipe connection
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings
to obtain an in-line connection to dryer.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer/dryer so that the rear of the
washer is within approximately 3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are four shipping bolts in the rear panel of the washer that
support the suspension system during transportation. These
bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts
are removed.
1. Keep the washer/dryer in the upright position while removing
the shipping bolts.

2. Using a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
3. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and
completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer and
store them in a location for use if the unit needs to be moved
at a later date.
IMPORTANT: If the washer is to be transported at a later
date, call your local service center for new transport bolts if
the original set is misplaced. Machine must be transported in
the upright position. To avoid structural or suspension
damage to your washer, it must be properly set up for
relocation by a certified technician.
