12 INSTALLATION
Installation Location Requirements
WARNING
Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating the dryer! It is important that you
review this entire manual before installing and using the dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical
connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
The installation requires:
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting the Dryer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric
Dryers .
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
Do not operate the dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off
at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. 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, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building
inspector.
NOTE
• The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer.
Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not
level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. The
standard pedestal is 15 inches (38.1 cm). You will need 18 inches (46 cm) from the garage floor to the
bottom of the dryer.
Clearances
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of
1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
• Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional clearances 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.
