Location considerations
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space
behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom,
right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which
the dryer is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow obstructions.
For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for
combustion and the proper dryer operation.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The dryer
area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer
produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.
Alcove or closet installations
WARNING
•
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or
closet.
•
No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
