For proper drying performance:

The location must provide:

• Protection from weather and

water: Do not store or use dryer
where it will be exposed to water and
weather.

• Room temperature above 7°C 

(45° F): If room temperature is below
7°C (45°F), automatic cycles may not
shut off.

• Level floor: Maximum slope under

entire dryer should not be more than
2.5 cm (I inch). If slope is greater
than 2.5 cm (1 inch), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 2798l0.
Clothes may not tumble properly and
automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.

• Sturdy floor to support dryer weight

of 79.4 kg (175 pounds).

• Air supply: It is important to make

sure the room has an adequate air
supply for gas combustion and/or
drying operation. The operation of
this appliance may affect the
operation of other gas appliances
which take their air supply for safe
combustion from the same room. If in
doubt consult the appliance
manufacturers.

• Exhaust to outdoors: Dryer must be

exhausted outdoors to prevent
exposure to harmful substances in the
gas fuels; to prevent large amounts of
lint and moisture from accumulating
and to maintain drying efficiency.

• Spacing: Keep a minimum distance

of 10 cm (4 inches) between the rear
of the dryer and any wall, a minimum
distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) at the
sides, and a minimum distance of 
46 cm (18 inches) to any cupboards
above the dryer. The minimum
distance in front of the dryer should
be sufficient to allow the door to fully
open.

It is the installer's responsibility to:

• Observe all governing codes and

ordinances.

• Check code requirements: Some

codes limit or do not permit
installation of clothes dryers in
garages, closets. mobile homes or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local
building inspector.

• Comply with the installation

specifications and dimensions.

• Consider spacing requirements for

companion appliances.

• Properly install dryer.

• Check that you have everything

necessary for proper installation.

• Contact a competent installer to

ensure that the electrical installation
meets all national and local codes
and ordinances.

This installation must also conform
with all national and local codes and
ordinances.
