• If you are using a power supply cord, 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 total dryer weight of 200 Ibs (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 [)ryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. Clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not

floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
[)o not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°E (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer
might not shut off at the end of an automatic sensor cycle. This can result in longer drying
