Installation clearances:

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Most installations require a minimum 5½" (140 mm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting Requirements.”

*Required spacing

■■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is recommended 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.

Mobile home - Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured Home Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

Mobile home installations require:

■■ Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase. For further information, please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the “Dryer User Instructions.”

■■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.
