Installation clearances:

For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of 

installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances, and 

clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be 

large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides 

of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door 

is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
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.

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

 

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 

installation and servicing.

 

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,  

and floor moldings.

 

Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer  

is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
