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,
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
n A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See
“Venting Requirements.”
n A separate 15 A or 20 A circuit for gas dryers.
n A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of
either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements” in the
“Gas Dryer Power Hookup” section.
n A sturdy floor to support dryer and a total weight (dryer and
load) of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a
companion appliance should also be considered.
n Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If 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.
Installing on carpet is not recommended.
n For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm)
above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm) to
bottom of dryer.
n Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft.
(1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20–100
psi (137.9–689.6 kPa). You may use your washer’s water
supply by utilizing the necessary parts noted in “Parts needed.”
n 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 your 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 door to fully open. Add spacing on all
sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered
door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
Spacing for recessed area or closet
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.
n Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
n Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
n Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
n 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.
n Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Minimum installation clearances (dryer only):
Front Sides Rear Top
Recessed NA 0" (0 mm) 0" (0 mm) 0" (0 mm)
Closet NA 0" (0 mm) 0" (0 mm) 0" (0 mm)
Under
Counter
NA 1" (25 mm) 0" (0 mm) 0" (0 mm)
0" (0 mm) rear spacing is allowed for straight-back venting only.
For steam models only, inlet hose must not be kinked.
Mobile Home – Additional installation
requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The
installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title
24, HUD Part 280) or the Standard for Mobile Homes, CAN/CSA-
Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
n Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for
purchase from your dealer.
n Mobile Home Installation Hold-Down Kit. See your Quick Start
Guide for more information.
n Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce
outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby
window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust
opening.
