Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or
recessed area.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of where
the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets
or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
Gas dryer installation clearances
■ The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to be fully opened.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
■ The back of the dryer shall be installed against a wall. Refer
to the minimum installation dimensions/clearances in the
diagrams.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets,
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
■ Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and
bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit
adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See
“Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” below for
minimum spacing requirements.

The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum allowable.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation,
servicing, and compliance with local codes and ordinances.
If the closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air
opening in the top and bottom of the door shall be as depicted
in below diagram. Louvered door with equivalent air openings is
acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.
