CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION

Properly ground the dryer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the dryer in damp or wet locations.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing your dryer in a manufactured or mobile home, please refer to the section Special Electrical Requirements for Mobile or Manufactured Homes on page 12,

CLEARANCES

Most installations require a minimum 5-1/2 in. (14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for

the exhaust ducting.

Allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in.

(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.
