You will need
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See
“Venting Requirements.”
A 120-volt, 60-hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp circuit.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm)
of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

of 115 lbs (52 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.
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 cycle. Drying times can be extended.
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.

*Most installations require a minimum 5½" (140 mm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbows. See “Venting
Requirements.”
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area and closet
installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing
allowed when the unit is to be operated with, or without, the
Stack Stand Kit. To purchase a Stack Stand Kit, see “Assistance
or Service.”
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.
