Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic 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 inspector.
Installation Clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
open fully.
Dryer Dimensions
*Most installations require a minimum 5½" (14.0 cm) clearance
behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbows. See "Venting
Requirements."
Minimum installation spacing for recessed area and closet
installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing
allowed when the dryer is to be operated with, or without, the
Stack Stand Kit. To purchase a Stack Stand Kit, see "Assistance
or Service."
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
For closet installation with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
