Installation instructions
To the installer
The correct installation of the dryer is your responsibility.
Be sure you read the following instructions carefully before you start to install the dryer. These instructions should be left with the home owner for future reference.
It is your responsibility to:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. Adhere to these installation instructions.
Allow for spacing requirements with side by side installations (refer page 9). Make sure you have all items necessary for correct installation.
Properly install the dryer.
Contact a qualified installer to ensure that the electrical and gas installation meets all national and local codes and ordinances. (See page 4).
Location requirements
WARNING!
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.
The dryer must be installed or stored in an area which is not exposed to water or weather.
It is extremely important that the dryer is installed in a well ventilated location. This dryer must exhaust air outdoors. Do not install the dryer in any room or closet which does not permit the free flow of replacement air.
The free area of any opening for the introduction of outside air shall not be less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
Before installing the dryer ensure that there is sufficient height to fully open the lid. Allow sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer. Ensure that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.
