Location Requirements
You will need
■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas

either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support the dryer with a total weight (dryer

entire dryer. (If slope is greater than 1 in. (2.5 cm), install
Extended Dryer Feet kit, Part No. 279810.) Clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.
Do not operate or store your dryer in a location with year-round
temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer
might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times
can be extended.
Install the dryer where it is protected from water and/or weather.
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.

No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
