Parts needed: (Not supplied with dryer)
Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For further information, please refer to the “Assistance or Service” section in your Use and Care Guide.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
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.
You will need:
■■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”
■■ A separate 15or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and 30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
■■ If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■■ Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also consider weight of companion appliance.
■■ Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly.
■■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above floor.
■■ Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within
4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure
of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use your washer’s water supply by purchasing the necessary parts noted in “Parts needed.”
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
