A:AnswerThe LG 2.3 cu. ft. High Efficiency All-in-One Front Load Washer and Electric Ventless Dryer in Stainless Steel, Model # WM3488HS has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the
line). It can use a 3-wire or 4-wire 30-amp, 240-volt, UL-listed power
cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends. A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new construction after January 1, 1996 and you would have to use a 4-wire connection. To determine which one you need, either check your building codes or check with your local building inspector. The Nema Configuration for the 4-wire outlet is 14-30R and for the 3-wire connection it is 10-30R. Both have an "L" shaped prong but unfortunately, you have not specified if it's 3 or 4. ^CP

A:AnswerIt is ventless so it does not blow out air but still gets very hot so the area around the washer does get warm but it's about the same amount of heat that comes off of a dishwasher
