Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). 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.
NOTE
•A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm), install the Extended Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
•For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0 inches (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:
ENGLISH
•Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
•Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
NOTE
•Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
•Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other causing paint damage and making even more noise.
