PARTS INCLUDED (cont.)

Stand Bases Wall Mounting Bracket Diagonal Brace Cross Brace

The stand base has an angle bracket at each end. One end of the angle bracket is 2212 " long and has mounting holes in it. This end goes up. The other end of the angle bracket is 28" long and has no holes. This longer end (without holes) goes down.

② ATTACH WALL MOUNTING BRACKET

Attach one end of the wall mounting bracket to one of the upper rear holes on one of the stand bases using a Type A screw and a lock nut. Make sure screws are inserted from the top and the lock nuts are on the bottom. Use the inside hole on the stand base for 24"width. Use the outside hole for 22"width.

Type A Screw Bracket Lock Nut

Attach the other end of the bracket to the upper rear hole of the other stand base the same way. Use the inside hole on the stand base for 24"width or the outside hole for 22"width. Hand-tighten the screws and nuts.

① DETERMINE STAND WIDTH

Your new stand can be assembled to two different widths:

• 22"for smaller, compact washers
• 24"for larger washers

Check your washer width to determine the stand width you need. The compact dryer will assemble to either width.

Use outside holes for 22" models Use inside holes for 24" models

③ ATTACH DIAGONAL BRACE

Attach the diagonal brace to the back of the front uprights on the stand bases. The brace must run from the lower left to the upper right when viewed from the rear of the stand.

Insert a Type B screw from the front of the stand into the lower hole on the left upright and secure with a lock nut. The lock nut will be on the inside of the upright.

Insert another Type B screw into the hole on the right upright. The top hole is used for 22" width, and the lower hole is used for 24" width. Hand-tighten the screws and lock nuts.

6 DETERMINE LOCATION

Locate the stand in an appropriate level area. This location should be suitable for the size, function, and protection of the stack stand and appliances. Use the stack stand only for the purpose for which it was designed. To prevent restriction of airflow, do not use top of dryer for storage.

The proper location of all utility connections is shown in the Utilities and Grounding illustration. These are not all needed in each installation, but those used should be located according to these dimensions so that utilities can be reached after installation.

6 DETERMINE LOCATION (cont.)

Dryers

Dryer models may require different utilities; refer to the Installation Instructions included with your new dryer for details on required utilities.

Refer to the Utilities and Grounding illustration and the Dryer Installation Instructions for details on final utility connections and grounding information.

NOTE: All fittings and outlets must be located so that they clear cross members of stack stand.

Automatic Washers

All automatic washers require a hot and cold water supply, a proper drain and a 120-volt electrical supply. Refer to the Installation Instructions included with your new automatic washer for detailed installation requirements.

If the automatic washer is to be operated in a different location (portable) and only stored in the stack stand, those utilities marked with an asterisk (*) in the Utilities and Grounding illustration would not be required at this location. They would be required at the location where the automatic washer is to be operated, with the exception of the drain pipe, since the machine can be drained into a sink or laundry tub.

NOTE: If both the automatic washer and dryer require a 120-volt electrical supply, TWO separate 15-ampere circuits must be used (one for each appliance). DO NOT, under any circumstances, connect both appliances to the same circuit as blown fuses will result.

⑦ LOCATE MOUNTING HOLES

Push the dryer and stand against the wall in the selected location and locate two wall studs.

Start 2 Type C screws through holes in the mounting bracket that line up with studs. DO NOT SCREW IN ALL THE WAY. Multiple holes in the bracket allow for variation in location of wall studs.

Once the holes are started, remove the screws from the mounting bracket and move the stand away from the wall.

For installations requiring clearance from the wall:

If the stand cannot be pushed all the way against the wall, secure a piece of wood to the wall studs to line up with the holes on the mounting bracket. The wood must be the same thickness as the clearance. Follow the steps above, starting the screws in the piece of wood.

8 INSTALL DRYER TO STAND

Carefully follow section entitled Preparing Your Dryer for Installation in the Installation Instructions for your new dryer. The dryer weighs approximately 100 pounds.

WARNING

Potential Personal Injury. More than one person is recommended to lift the dryer into position because of its weight and size. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death.

Use 6 Type D screws to secure the dryer to the stand. Tighten the screws using an adjustable wrench or nut driver. The dryer will sit approximately 1 14 forward of the end of the top angle.

⑨ MOVE DRYER AND STAND INTO FINAL POSITION AND INSTALL DRYER EXHAUST

Push the dryer and stand against the wall in the selected location.

If the hole for the exhaust has been located as shown in the Utilities and Grounding illustration, it will align with the dryer exhaust when the stack stand and dryer are placed in the selected operating position.
