Optional Equipment

Refer to your Use and Care guide for information about the 
accessories available for your dryer.

Location Requirements 

You will need

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See 
“Venting Requirements.”

A separate 30-amp circuit.

If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical 
outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) 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" (25 mm) under entire 
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer 
Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. 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" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 
18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the dryer.

Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 

 

4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi 

 

(137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from 

 

your washer using the “Y” connector provided.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At 
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an 
automatic sensor 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.

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to 

 

open fully.
