Parts needed (not supplied with dryer):
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting.
See "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting Requirements" before
purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, please refer to the "Assistance
or Service" section in your Use and Care Guide.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.
■
See "Venting Requirements."
A separate 15- or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers
■
and 30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet
■
located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg).
■
Also consider weight of companion appliance.
Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
■
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly.
For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
■
above floor.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
45°F (7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to
shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances, and
clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be
large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides
of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door
is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
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.

Spacing for recessed area or closet installation
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 ventilitation openings are
acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
