LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: The stacked washer/dryer can be installed in an enclosure. Check the locations of the water supply faucets, grounded electrical outlets, and gas supply line connection (gas dryer only). Depending on your application, longer washer fill hoses, longer electric power supply cords, and a longer flexible stainless steel gas connector line than that supplied with the washer/dryer may be needed.

If the water supply faucets, electrical outlets, gas supply line, or power cord need modification, have a qualified plumber, electrician, or gas technician make the changes.

Mobile home – Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

Mobile home installations require special parts (listed following), which are available for purchase from your local dealer or service center.

Stacked pair must be securely fastened to the floor.

Parts Needed:

■ Mobile Home Installation Kit, Part Number 346764, needs to be purchased to accomplish this. Order 2 kits to enable you to secure both the front and the back of the unit to the floor.

■ Metal exhaust system hardware.

Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move washer or dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Move washer to its final location

Place a level on top edges of washer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip washer and adjust feet up or down as shown in Installation Instructions, repeating as necessary.

Not Level LEVEL Not Level

3. On covering, lay dryer on side or back

Place a covering, such as cardboard or a blanket, on the floor to avoid damage. Gently lay the dryer down with its side or back on the covering.

4. Remove existing feet, if present

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with internal components and an inset showing a connector (no text or symbols)

Using a wrench or slip-joint pliers, remove the existing feet if present.

Using a wrench or slip-joint pliers, install the new feet, turning them fully into the bottom of the dryer.

Lift the dryer back to an upright position, keeping it on the cardboard (or carton bottom). Use the cardboard to slide the dryer to the front of the washer to avoid damaging the rubber feet.

Lift the dryer up and set securely on top of washer. Position dryer to slightly overhang the back of the washer – too much overhang will allow the rear feet to slip off the back of the washer top.

Remove the plastic clips (2), brackets (2), and pan-head screws (4) from the parts bag. Take a plastic clip (A) and, with the flat side facing out, push it down onto the lower edge of the slot (B) in the dryer back. A flat-blade screwdriver may help to open the plastic clip slightly. Repeat on other side.

Push the hooked end of the bracket (C) down over the plastic clip (A). A flat-blade screwdriver may help to seat the bracket over the plastic clip. Slide the dryer forward as needed and attach bracket (C) to washer with pan-head screws (D). Tighten screws securely. Repeat on other side.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Follow the Installation Instructions that came with your washer and dryer to remove the shipping bolts and complete the installation.
