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.

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 your 
“Washer/Dryer User Instructions.”

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 the serving gas supplier.
IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, 
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, 
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

½" IPS pipe is recommended.

■

³⁄₈" approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under 

20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

■

Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing.

■

Must include 

¹⁄₈" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible 

for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas 
supply connection to the dryer (see illustration).

    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.

 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.
