LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Select proper location for your dryer to improve performance
and minimize noise. 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.
You will need:
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. The
■
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See "Venting
Requirements."
A floor that will support the dryer and a total weight (dryer
■
and load) of 90,7 kg (200 lbs). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
A level floor with maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under entire
■
dryer. If slope is greater than 25 mm (1"), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly and models
with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if
dryer is not level.
It is important to make sure the room has an adequate air
■
supply for drying operation. The operation of this appliance
may affect the operation of other appliances which take their
air supply for safe combustion from the same room.
Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid a backflow
■
of gases into the room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires. If in doubt consult the appliance
manufacturers.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must not be installed or stored in an
area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Do not
operate your dryer at temperatures below 7°C (45°F). At lower
temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
