InstallationLocationRequirements
WARNING
Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating the dryer! It is important that you
review this entire manual before installing and using the dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical
connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
The installation requires:
•A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting the Dryer.
•A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric
Dryers .
•A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
•No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
Do not operate the dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off
at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. 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, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building
inspector.
NOTE
•The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer.
Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not
level.
•For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. The
standard pedestal is 15 inches (38.1 cm). You will need 18 inches (46 cm) from the garage floor to the
bottom of the dryer.
Clearances
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.
12
INSTALLATION
ClosetVentilationRequirements
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.

Three-Wire Direct Wire
•A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted
on new construction after January 1,
1996.
•A UL-listed strain relief is required.
•Use UL-listed 3-wire, #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor cable. Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) length
to allow for removal and installation of dryer.
Remove 3½-inch (8.9 cm) of the outer covering

Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the
main burner.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has
been operating for 3 minutes.

UL-Listed 3-Wire Power Cord
Attach the two hot leads (black and red) of the
5
power cord to the outer terminal block screws.
Attach the neutral (white) wire to the center
6
terminal block screw.
NOTE
The dryer is supplied with the neutral conductor
grounded. If a 3-wire cord is to be used and is
allowed, make sure the white neutral grounding
wire is connected to the green ground screw.
Connect the external ground (if required by local
7
codes) to the green ground screw.
Tighten all screws securely.

CheckingAirow
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.
CheckingLevelness
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.
