Minimum spacing for recessed area and
closet installation
The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing
allowed when the dryer is to be operated with, or without, the
Stack Stand Kit. To purchase a Stack Stand Kit, see “Assistance
or Service.”
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
■ 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 Location 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 245, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase from
your dealer.
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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
■ To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt,
60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt
electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a
separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect
to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.
Damage to the coupling can result.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for
exhausting.
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Exhaust hoods:
■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object
that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes,
or snow).
Recommended Style:
Louvered hood Box hood
Acceptable Style:
Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows
and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for
best drying performance
■ Use the “Vent System Chart” below to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.
