Stacked Washer/Gas Dryer Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: The washer/dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used,
it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine
that the ground path is adequate.

n A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this washer/dryer be provided.

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
