BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Make sure you have everything necessary for the proper installation.
•
A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. Refer to the
“ Electrical requirements ” section.
•
A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).
•
GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.
•
The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-
walled metal exhaust ducting.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
1. The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front
for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system.
2. This dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust
out the bottom or left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are
included with the kit.
3. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located has enough fresh air.
The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow obstructions.
Ambient temperature shall not be lower than 33°F.
4. For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on
the data plate to ensure adequate air for combustion and the proper
dryer operation.
5. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather. The dryer area must be kept clear
of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer
should be kept lint-free.
