INSTALLATION

Installation Location Requirements

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, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

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.

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 cm

) 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.
