LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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:

nA location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”

nA separate 30 amp circuit.

nIf using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

nFloor must support dryer weight of 115 lbs. (52 kg). Also consider weight of companion appliance.

nLevel 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.

nFor 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.

nThe 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 45° F (7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to

shut off at end of sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.

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.

NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 5" (127 mm) clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting Requirements.”
