adapter
red cap
20.Remove the red cap from the flexible gas connector. Remove the adapter from the flexible gas connector. (It may be necessary to use two adjustable wrenches.) Install the adapter on the rigid gas supply line using
Connect dryer to rigid gas supply line so that there is a natural loop in the flexible gas connector from the dryer. The couplings should be in the same plane and positioned just far enough apart to allow the flexible gas connector from the dryer to loop without any strains on the line. The flexible gas connector must NOT be twisted, kinked or attached with any sharp bends. Use
A rigid gas supply line to washer/dryer location must be used.
Right method
The flexible gas connector MUST be connected in a single, natural loop.
Gas supply line coupling should be 38 inches min. to 41 inches max. from floor and against (parallel to) wall.
Wrong methods
DO NOT OFFSET COUPLINGS — this causes twisting and straining of the flexible gas connector, which may cause premature failure of the connector.
A sharp bend in the flexible gas connector at the couplings causes straining and twisting, which may result in premature failure of the coupling.
Placing the couplings too close together causes double bends that may result in fatigue failure of the fittings.

22.Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connections for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controls and adjust connections. Then check connections again.
23.Determine the length of exhaust vent that is needed to connect the dryer to the exhaust hood. (See “Exhaust requirements,” Panels B and C.)
clamp
24.Connect exhaust vent to washer/dryer and then to the exhaust hood.
•Use the straightest path possible to avoid 90° turns.
•Use clamp to seal all joints in the exhaust system.
•Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
25.CHECK ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS. BE SURE YOU HAVE CORRECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND RECOMMENDED GROUND METHOD. Check the Installation Instructions to see that you have completed each step. Complete any missed steps before you continue.
26.Check that all parts are now installed. (See parts list, Panel C.) If there is an extra part, go back through steps to see which step was skipped.
27.Check that you removed all the shipping pieces including the shipping strap with its 2 cotterpins and plug. Dispose of all materials in proper manner.
If you do not remove the shipping strap, your washer/dryer may “walk” away from its location.

28.Check that you have all of your tools.
29.Turn on water faucets and check for leaks. Tighten couplings if there is leaking. Do Not overtighten; this could cause damage to faucet.
30.Replace access panel. Be sure to tighten the three
31.Read the Use and Care Guide to fully understand your new washer/dryer. Open dryer door. Check to be sure lint screen is in its proper position. Wipe out drum.
32.Plug power supply cord into grounded outlet. Now start the washer and allow it to complete the regular cycle.
33.Start dryer to remove air from the gas supply line. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat inside the dryer, shut off the dryer for five minutes. Check that all supply valve controls are in the “ON” position and that the power supply cord is plugged in. Repeat the
