Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this
dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 cm)
clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should
be considered for the following reasons:
■
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
■
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.
