Installation Location Requirements
WARNING
• Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that
you review this entire manual before installing and using your 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 oor 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.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and oor moldings.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
NOTE
• The oor 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 the dryer is not level.
• For garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the oor. The
standard pedestal height is 15 inches (38 cm). You will need 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the garage oor to the
bottom of the dryer.
• Do not operate your 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 that limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following clearances 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 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.
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
above the oor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm
more than one foot above the oor. 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.

To reduce the risk of re or explosion, electric
shock, property damage, injury to persons or
death when using this appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
• Do not crush or collapse ductwork.
• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact sharp
objects.
• If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it is
suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid or
exible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
and for venting outside.
• To reduce the risk of re, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, DO
NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and
unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed
space of a building.
• To reduce the risk of re, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.
• The exhaust duct must be 4-inch (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or exible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and
the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must
be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition
duct could affect drying time.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other
fasteners which extend into the duct that could
catch lint and reduce the efciency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
• Do not exceed the recommended duct length
limitations noted in the chart. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in extended drying
times, re or death.
WARNING
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You

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 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.
