INSTALLATION
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water
lines and remove particles that might clog up the water valve
screens.
2. Check inlet hoses to ensure the rubber washers are installed in
each end.
3. Carefully connect the inlet hoses to the water valve (on the left
side of the washer cabinet), tighten by hand, then tighten another
2/3 turn with pliers.
DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR
OVERTIGHTEN
THESE CONNECTIONS.
4. Determine which water faucet is the
HOT
water faucet and
carefully connect the bottom inlet hose to the
HOT
water
faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers. Carefully connect the top inlet hose to the
COLD
water
faucet, tighten by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers.
DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR
OVERTIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS.
Turn the water on and check for leaks at both connections.
5. Carefully move the laundry center to its final location.
Rollers on the rear of the washer base allow for easy
movement in closet or alcove installations. Gently push back on
the washer cabinet.
NOTE:
Gently pushing the dryer cabinet may
lift the front of the washer over 1/8” which will engage the rear
legs to the floor.
6. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the
washer, no rocking of the washer should exist. Adjust the front
leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting solid.
Rear leg adjustment is accessible through the front service panel.
Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards the base of the washer
and snug with a wrench.
NOTE:
Leg extension should not be over one (1) inch to
prevent excessive vibration.

GAS CONNECTION
(Gas laundry centers only)
a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.

connect the laundry center to L.P. gas
service without converting the gas valve. An L.P.
conversion kit must be installed by a qualified gas
technician.
b. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe from
the gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on the
back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) to3/8 inch (0.96 cm)
reducer for the connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that
is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all
pipe connections.
c. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER
TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
8. Form a “ U “ shape on the end of the drain hose with the
hose pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in a
laundry tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie

REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are needed for your laundry center, contact the
source where you purchased your laundry center.
Destroy the carton, plastic bags, and metal band after
the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can
become airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in
a garbage container or make materials inaccessible to children.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
The instructions in this manual and all other literature
included with this laundry center are not meant to cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Good safe practice
and caution
MUST
be applied when installing, operating and
maintaining any appliance.
Maximum benefits and enjoyment are achieved when all
the Safety and Operating instructions are understood and
practiced as a routine with your laundry tasks.
WARNING
10. Connect the exhaust duct to outside duct work. Use duct tape
to seal all joints.
11. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE:
Check to ensure the power is off at a circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an
outlet.
12. Turn on the power at a circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer
area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as
boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
13. Reinstall the dryer front access panel.
14. Run the washer and dryer though a cycle. Check for proper
operation.
NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is
turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the timer to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes
before making another attempt to light.
15. If your laundry center does not operate, please review the
“Avoid Service Checklist” located in your Owner’s Guide before
calling for service.

A wiring diagram is located behind the dryer
front access panel.
