Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
� For vented models: A location allowing for proper exhaust
installation. See “Venting Requirements.”
� A separate 30 A circuit for electric dryers.
� 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 dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg).
Also, consider the combined weight of the companion
appliance.
� For steam dryers: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft
(1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of
20-120 psi (138-827 kPa). You may use the water supply for
your washer using the necessary parts as noted in “Parts
needed” which you may need to purchase (those parts are not
included with the your appliance and are optional).
� Level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under the
entire dryer. If the slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install
Extended Dryer Feet Kit. If not level, clothes may not tumble
properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly.
� For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm)
to bottom of the dryer.
� The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate dryer at temperatures below 45°F
(7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at end
of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.
Installation clearances:
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances, and
clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be
large enough to allow the dryer door to fully open. Add spacing on
all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door is
used, top and bottom air openings are required. Louvered doors
with equivalent ventilation openings can be used.
Installation spacing for a recessed area or closet
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing
allowed.
� Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
� Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, floor,
moldings, dryer venting, and drain system.
� Additional spacing 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 for
vented models. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation
openings are acceptable.
� Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
