Whirlpool Gas Washer/Dryer - Manuel (Page 4)

4
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi
(34.5-689.6 kPa).
The washer/dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where
it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below
32ºF (0ºC). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See “Washer/Dryer Care” in the
Washer/Dryer User Instructions for winterizing information.
Do not operate your dryer in temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the washer/dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes,
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to open fully.
Washer/Dryer Dimensions
*Most installations require a minimum 5" (127 mm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this
washer/dryer. This washer/dryer has been tested for spacing of 0"
(0 mm) clearance on the sides. Recommended spacing should be
considered for the following reasons:
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing on all sides of the washer/dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
*Required spacing
**Rear clearance may be 1" (25 mm) when house exhaust system
