WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

You will need

■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas

dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting Requirements.”

■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of

either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ A sturdy floor to support the dryer and a total weight (dryer

and load) of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire

dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [2.5 cm], install Extended Dryer Feet kit, Part No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble properly and models with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.

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: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Installation Clearances

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