IMPORTANT:
Read all installation instructions completely before
installing and operating your dryer!
It is important that you review this entire manual before
installing and using your dryer. It contains detailed
instructions concerning electrical connections, gas
connections and exhaust requirements.
• Store and install the dryer where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor weather
conditions.
• Choose a location with a solid, level floor.
• If the dryer is being installed in a garage, place the dryer at least
18 in. (45.7cm) above the floor.
• Properly ground the dryer to conform with all governing codes
and ordinances.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the dryer in
damp or wet locations.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing your dryer in a
manufactured or mobile home, please refer to the
section Special Electrical Requirements for Mobile or
Manufactured Homes on page 14.
• Most installations require a minimum 5-1/2 in.
(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust
ducting.
• Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) on
the sides and back to minimize vibration and noise.
• Allowing additional clearance for installation and
servicing is recommended.
• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that
may increase the required clearances.
• Allow at least 21 in. (53.3 cm) in front of the dryer to
open the door.
Additional Instructions for closet
installations:
• The closet door must allow for
sufficient airflow. Refer to the
diagram to the left for minimum
vent opening requirements.
A louvered door is also acceptable.
