INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the
floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
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.
You will need:
n An earthed electrical supply. See "Electrical Requirements."
n A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
n A sturdy and solid floor to support the dryer with a total
weight (load) of 204 kg (450 lbs).
Installation clearances
n The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to be fully opened.
n Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
n Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and floor moldings.
n Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the dryer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
n Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. The
dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door,
or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer
in such a way that a full opening of the dryer door is restricted.
For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer or
in "Dimensions/Clearances."
The installation spacing is in millimeters 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 of the door shall be as depicted in
the diagram below. Louvered doors with equivalent air openings
are acceptable.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
NOTE: For installation in Australia and New Zealand, refer
to AS/NZS 5601.1 for ventilation requirements.
NOTE: This dryer is not intended to be placed on top
of a washer.
Electrical Requirements
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug.
It must be connected by a competent electrician to a
single-phase electricity supply at the voltage shown on
the dataplate, using a suitable fixed wiring installation in
accordance with local and national wiring regulations.
n A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size
6 mm
(10 AWG) cross-section area should be used.

n A 45 A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having
a contact separation in both poles that provides full
disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions
must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance
with local wiring regulations. The dryer should be positioned
so that the disconnection switch is clearly visible and easily
accessible to the user. This disconnection switch also
provides the function of an emergency stop control
for the user.
n A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer, and should
be tightened on completion of wiring. The electrical mains
terminals are located behind the small rear access panel
(terminal block cover), and connections should be made
in accordance with the terminal markings. Remember to
replace the terminal access panel (terminal block cover).
NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive
(2014/30/EU), the maximum electricity supply system
impedance to which the electric dryer should be connected
is declared to be 0.012 Ω + j0.007 Ω.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the
most appropriate for this product.
