Installation Location Requirements

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.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). 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.
Clearances
InstallatIon spacIng for recessed area or closet InstallatIon
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. Although this dryer has been tested for 1inch (2.5cm)
clearance on the sides and rear, the recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting the dryer .
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See
Connecting
Electric Dryers.
• 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.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
• Additional clearance should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door
and floor moldings.
• Additional clearance 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 clearances should also be
considered.

NOTE
• Floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. 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.
NOTE
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. With enough vibration, the appliances will make noise or touch each other
causing paint damage and making even more noise.
