Electrical requirements for
laundry center with gas dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized
and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit
fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or
circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground,
120 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is
equipped with a 120 volt 3-wire power
cord.
GROUNDING CONNECTION - See
“Grounding requirements” in Electrical
Installation section.
1. Installation MUST conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be 1/2
inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing
may be used to connect your dryer
to the gas supply line. The tubing
MUST be constructed of stainless
steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an
individual shutoff valve installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged
tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, MUST be installed
immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from
the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.45 kPa).
8. Connections for the gas supply
must comply with the Standard for
Connectors for Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24 - CSA 6.10.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Uncoated copper tubing will corrode
when subjected to natural gas, causing
gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron,
stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass
piping for gas supply.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the laundry
center may cause serious injury or
death. Check with a licensed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,

grounding prong.
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be
installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of your
washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST
be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with threading for
laundry hose connection. Water pressure
MUST be between 10 psi (0.69 bars) and
120 psi (8.27 bars). Pressure difference
between hot and cold cannot be more
than 10 psi. Your water department can
advise you of your water pressure.
NOTE
Washers connected to water supplies
with lower inlet pressure will experience
longer filling times and may not
complete cycles as quickly.
