Location Requirements

You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting
■
Requirements."
A separate 30 amp circuit.
■
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 the 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.
Installation clearances:
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.
