Installation Location Requirements
WARNING
• Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that
you review this entire manual before installing and using your 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 oor 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.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and oor moldings.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
NOTE
• The oor 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 the dryer is not level.
• For garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18-inch (46 cm) above the oor. The standard
pedestal is 15-inch (38 cm). You will need 18-inch (46 cm) from the garage oor to the bottom of the dryer.
• 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. 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 that limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
