INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Stacked Washer/Gas Dryer Location
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
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,
or recessed area. This washer/dryer is not intended for install in
a mobile home or recreational vehicle. See the "Washer Drain
System" section for more information.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer/dryer where
it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the
washer/dryer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some
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 the "Electrical Requirements" section.
■ 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/gas 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 to
improve spin-up performance of the washer.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit
installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
■ Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back
and bottom sides of the washer, are free of obstructions to
permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air.
See the "Recessed Area Installation Instructions" below for
minimum spacing requirements.
Recessed area installation instructions:
This washer/dryer may be installed in a recessed area. For
recessed area installations, minimum clearances can be found on
the warning label on the rear of the dryer or in the
"Dimensions/Clearances" section.
The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
NOTE: The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
