CLEARANCES

Most installations require a minimum 5 ½ inch (14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust ducting.

Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and back to minimize vibration and noise.

Allowing additional clearance for installation and servicing is recommended.

Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Allow at least 21 inches (53.3 cm) in front of the dryer to open the door.
