LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
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.
You will need
• A location that allows for proper exhaust
installation. See "Venting Requirements,"
page 2-15.
• Electric Models Only: A separate 30-amp
circuit.
• If you are using a power cord, a grounded
electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm)
of either side of the dryer. See "Electrical
Requirements," pages 2-5 & 2-13.
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer
weight of 250 lbs (113.4 kg). The combined
weight of accessories, clothes loads, and
companion appliances should also be con-
sidered.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1˝
(2.5 cm) under entire dryer. Clothes may
not tumble properly and automatic sensor
cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is
not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to
place the dryer at least 18˝ (46 cm) above
the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need
an additional 7˝ (17.8 cm).
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures
below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the
dryer might not shut off at the end of an auto-
matic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an
area where it will be exposed to water and/or
weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit,
or do not permit, installation of the dryer in
garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspec-
tor.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can
be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

mended for this dryer. This dryer has been
tested for spacing of 0˝ (0 cm) clearance
on the sides, front, and rear. Recommended
spacing should be considered for the follow-
ing reasons:

the dryer door to open fully.
• Additional spacing should be considered
for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for
wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing should be considered
on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise
transfer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
