LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
DRYER DIMENSIONS
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
■■A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”
■■A separate 30 amp circuit.
■■If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■■Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also consider weight of companion appliance.
■■Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). You may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y” connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.
■■Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly.
■■For garage installation, place dryer at least 18” (460 mm) above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18” (460 mm) to bottom of dryer.

■■The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below 40° F (4° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.
Installation Clearances
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings
in door are required.
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.
