Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See
“Venting Requirements.”
■ A separate 30-amp circuit,
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of
either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs
(90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance
should also be considered.
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [2.5 cm], install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810.) Clothes may not tumble
properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly if dryer is not level.
■ For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at
least 18" (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will
need an additional 6" (15.24 cm).
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. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to 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.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
*Most installations require a minimum 5V2 (14 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for fhe exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements.”
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area, custom
undercounter or closet installation
The following dimensions shown are for fhe minimum spacing
allowed.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Fouvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
