Electrical Requirements, Gas Models (27" [69 cm] Models Only) Gas Supply Requirements, Gas Models (27" [69 cm] Models Only) WARNING n This washer/dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. n To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. 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. n If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. n Do not ground to a gas pipe. n Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer/dryer is properly grounded. n Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. n 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 washer/dryer be provided.

If connected to propane, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water column.
