Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:

•Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

•Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

•Additional clearances 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.

INSTALLATION

Closet Ventilation Requirements

Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.

NOTE

There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

Connect the external ground (if required by local

codes) to the green ground screw.

Tighten all screws securely.

Checking Airow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6-inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Checking Venting

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in drying performance occurs, check duct for obstructions and blockages.

INSTALLATION

Installation Test (Duct Check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

•This dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the Secado Con Aire(Air Dry) cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

To activate the installation test:

Remove the drying rack and literature, and

then close the door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as in may affect the accuracy of the results.

Check the display for results.

During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™ display on the control panel. If the Flow Sense™ LED has not turned on, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the Flow Sense™ LED will turn on. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart on the next page for error code details and solutions.

INSTALLATION

Check the duct condition

•

If the Flow SenseTM LED is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

When the dryer is rst installed, this test should

be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.
