of the appliance water inlet hose connections. The
faucets must be 3/4″ garden hose-type so inlet
hoses can be connected.
• WATER PRESSURE – Must be between 10 and 120
pounds per square inch with a maximum unbalance
pressure, hot vs. cold flowing, of 10 pounds per
square inch.
• SHUT-OFF VALVES – Both hot and cold water shut-off
valves (faucets) should be supplied.
• LOCATION – Do not install appliance in an area where
the temperature will fall below freezing. If appliance is
stored or transported in freezing temperatures, be sure
all water from the fill and drain systems has been
removed.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• DRAIN RATE – The drain or standpipe must be capable
of accepting a discharge at the rate of 16 gallons per
minute.
• DRAIN HEIGHT – The drain height must be 33″
minimum and 96″ maximum.
• STANDPIPE DIAMETER – The standpipe diameter must
be 1″ minimum. There MUST be an air gap around the
drain hose in the standpipe. A snug fit can cause a
siphoning action.
• SIPHON BREAK KIT – For a drain facility less than 33″
high, the hose, coupling and clamps provided in the
machine must be used and, in addition, a siphon break
MUST be installed on the back of the machine. Use
Siphon Break Kit WH49X228 and FOLLOW

TURN OFF ELECTRICITY AT POWER SOURCE (CIRCUIT
BREAKER/FUSE BOX) BEFORE INSTALLING OR
SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
This appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or,

GAS CONNECTION INFORMATION
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to alter gas orifice or adjust burner air
shutter. Natural gas input may vary in some areas from
700 to 1200 B.T.U. per cubic foot. If the gas orifice or
burner air shutter is incorrectly adjusted, serious
personal injury and/or fire hazard can occur. Your local
gas company will know the qualities of the gas in your
area. Contact your local servicing dealer if burner
adjustment or orifice changes are necessary.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing. Serious
personal injury and/or a fire hazard can result if an open
flame is used to test for gas leaks. Use a soap and water
solution to test all gas line fittings.
Do not install the Laundry Center to an L.P. gas supply
without installing conversion kit. All Laundry Centers
are shipped with a pressure regulator and natural gas
orifice. Using a natural gas orifice with an L.P. gas supply
can result in personal injury, clothes damage and/or a
fire hazard. Have a qualified gas technician install a
conversion kit in the Laundry Center before use.
• Installation must meet American National Standard,
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—1988 and local
codes and ordinances.
• The gas supply line should be a 1/2″ pipe. A 1/2″ to
3/8″ reducer must be used to connect the dryer to
the supply line.
• The gas supply line must have a shut-off valve
preferably within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the dryer.
• A 1/8″ NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed immediately upstream
of the gas supply connection.
