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 pipe-joint compound. Attach the
flexible gas connector to the adapter.
Do Not use pipe-joint compound. (See
Step I, Panel B.)
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 pipe-joint
compound resistant to the action of L.P.
gas for all gas connections, except at
the flexible gas connector to the
adapter. (See Step I, Panel B.)
A rigid gas supply line to washer/dryer
location must be used.

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.
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.
21.
All connections
must
be
wrench-tightened. Open the shutoff
valve in the gas supply line.
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.)
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.
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 Phillips-head screws
at the top of the access panel. Replace
the bumper under the center screw.
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 five-minute test.
You have
