Location Requirements

You will need

■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to

the outdoors. See “Venting Requirements.”

■ 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 No. 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 18" (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at 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.

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.

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

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Dryer Dimensions

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the

exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting Requirements.”

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested

for spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be

considered for the following reasons:

■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.

■ 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.

■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
