dryer, water and load) of 500 lbs (226.8 kg).
■
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under
entire washer/dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly and

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 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.
