Explosion Hazard

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.

Check location where dryer will be in-stalled. Proper installation is your responsibility. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation.

Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical requirements.”

Four-inch metal exhaust vent is required. See “Exhaust requirements.”

Check code requirements: Some codes do not permit or limit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Protection from the weather: Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F, or the dryer may not shut off when automatic cycles are used.
