■ 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 considered. |

■ 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 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
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.
