EXHAUST VENTING
Gas supply: 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.
Gas supply line must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping
accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the dryer. 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended. 3/8"
approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for lengths under
20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit. If you are using
Natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m)
should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting. Gas
supply line coupling must be 34" (864 mm) to 37" (940 mm) from the
floor. 
Must include a shutoff valve: An individual shutoff valve must be
installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the washer/dryer in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. The location
should be easy to reach for opening and closing.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be
used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused
electrical 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. 
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. Use a heavy
metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. 4" (10.2 cm) heavy
metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used. DURASAFE™ venting
products are recommended. Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12"
(30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of
the exhaust.

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path
outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows
and turns. Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart.
Determine the number of elbows
you will need.
