Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or
recessed area.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT:
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to
■
the weather. Proper installation is your responsibility.
This dryer must not be installed in a closet with a door.
■
You will need:
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of
■
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
■
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
Dryer installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
■
to be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
■
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
■
floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is
■
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
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.
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 Installation Instructions" below for
minimum spacing requirements.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
