The following instructions will help guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer for use.
Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and
use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any
installation or use. More detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and
exhaust requirements are provided in other parts of this manual.

Place the dryer at least eighteen inches above the
floor for a garage installation. After placing the
dryer in the desired location, please make sure that
it has the required clearances shown below. If you

mobile home, please refer to STEP 9 for additional
instructions.
Certain minimum clearances are required
above, behind, and to the sides of the unit, as
shown below.
