STACKED WASHER/GAS DRYER

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Selecting the proper location for the washer/

dryer improves performance and minimizes

noise and possible washer “walk.”

The washer/dryer can be installed in a

basement, laundry room, or recessed area.

(See page 2-21) “Drain System.”

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

“Electrical Requirements.”

Hot and cold water faucets located within

4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill

Recessed Area and Closet Installation

Instructions

This washer/dryer may be installed in a

recessed area or closet. For recessed area

and closet installations, minimum clearances

can be found on the warning label on the rear

of the dryer or in Dimensions and Clearances

(See page 2-3).

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.

If closet door is installed, the minimum

unobstructed air opening in the top and bottom

is required. Louvered doors with equivalent air

openings are acceptable.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

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.

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 the 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 “Recessed Area and

Closet Installation Instructions” in the next

column for minimum spacing requirements.

available, it is the personal responsibility

and obligation of the customer to have the

properly grounded outlet installed by a
