Installation spacing for recessed area  

or closet installation

All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing 

allowed. 

 

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of  

installation and servicing.

 

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,  

floor, moldings, and drain system.

 

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.
