Location Requirements
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materia(s and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.See
"Venting Requirements."
• Aseparate 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 Ibs
(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 45°F (7°C). 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.
