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. Detailed instructions
concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the
following pages.
CLEARANCES
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45 ºF (7 ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the
end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the 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 LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting Requirements .
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Electrical
Requirements .
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of
200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm)
under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5
cm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not
tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer
at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom
of the dryer.
The following spacing dimensions are recommended
for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing
of 0 inches (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear.
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 should be considered on all sides of
the dryer 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.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
Suggestion: There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer
of vibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other causing
paint damage and making even more noise.
