Installation Location Requirements

WARNING
• Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer. It is important that
you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning
electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Use long-sleeved gloves and safety glasses.
• The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are required when installing the dryer.
The installation requires:
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting the Dryer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric
Dryers.
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
NOTE
• The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer. Clothes may not
tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if the dryer is not level.
• For garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. The
standard pedestal height is 15 inches (38 cm). You will need 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the garage floor to the
bottom of the dryer.
• 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. This can result in longer drying times.
• The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
• Check code requirements that limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, mobile homes or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
