Location Considerations; Alcove Or Closet Installations - Samsung DV455 Serie Manual Del Usuario

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough
space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out
the bottom, right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure
the room in which the dryer is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no
air-fl ow obstructions.
For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air
for combustion and the proper dryer operation.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The
dryer area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and liquids. A
dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.

closet.
