INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location Requirements
If installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
I Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit
installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
I Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and
bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit
adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See
"Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" below
for minimum spacing requirements.
NOTE: The dryer must not be installed in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet.
For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer.
The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes
and ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air opening
in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent
air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.
