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 elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
■
A separate 30 amp circuit for electric dryers.
■
A separate 15 or 20 amp circuit for gas dryers.
■
If you are using power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■
A sturdy floor to support dryer and a total weight (dryer
and load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
■
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C).
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.
NOTE:
No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Mobile home – Additional installation requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian
Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
■
Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase.
For further information, please reference the “Assistance
or Service” section of the “Use and Care Guide.”
■
Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such
as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large
as the dryer exhaust opening.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet
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.
■
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.
