WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is also recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The washer/dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer/dryer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer/dryer: This washer/dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer/dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the washer/dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washer/dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Gas Type

Natural Gas:

This washer/dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with appropriate conversion.

Your washer/dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate in the door well of your dryer. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, contact your dealer or call the phone numbers referenced on the front page of the Washer/Dryer User Instructions.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting your gas company.

Gas supply line

Must include 18" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer (see illustration).

½" IPS pipe is recommended.

38" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting.

Gas supply line coupling must be 34" (864 mm) to 37"

(940 mm) from the floor.

If your washer/dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 38" LP compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger tubing.

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
