NOTE: Do not use leveling legs supplied with dryer if installing on a pedestal.
Parts needed
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.
2
Optional Equipment
Refer to your Use and Care guide for information about the accessories available for your dryer.
Location Requirements
You will need
■A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”
■A separate 30-amp circuit.
■If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.
■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. 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" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the dryer.
■Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from your washer using the “Y” connector provided.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic sensor 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.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:
■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
■Additional spacing 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.
