instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Parts needed:

Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas supply, electrical supply and

venting, and read “Electrical Requirements,” “Gas Supply Requirements” and “Venting

Requirements” before purchasing parts.

Mobile home installations require special parts (listed following) that may be ordered by

calling the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For further information, please refer

to the “Assistance or Service” section.

■ Mobile Home Installation Kit. Ask for Part Number 346764.

■ Metal exhaust system hardware.

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 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.

■ 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 models with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if

dryer is not level.

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.
