Location Requirements

from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or
death.
Location:
IMPORTANT:
Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other heat
source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C). Do not
place in direct sunlight.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It should hold the
weight of a fully loaded appliance. Allow at least 4
” (10 cm) of airspace at the top
and on both sides of the appliance and also 4
” between the back of the appliance
and the wall. If the appliance is going to be placed next to a wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider than its width.
NOTE:
Allow
4” (10 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm)
clearance between appliances.
