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 consider
■ 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 dryer, and water pr

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.
Mobile home - Additional installation requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation
must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280)
or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
All Dryers
■ Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase
from your dealer.
■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce
outside air into dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window)
should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.
For gas dryers
■ Mobile Home Installation Kit Part Number 346764. See “Tools

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service
representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

If connected to LP, have a qualied person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water
column.
Examples of a qualied person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.
Gas Type
Natural gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with Natu
by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases with
appropriate conversion.
■ Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas
in your home. Burner information is
in the door well of your dryer. If
with the type of gas available, contact your dealer or call
the phone numbers referenced in the “Assistance or Service”
section in your Use an

Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 m):
■ When installed above 10,000 ft. (3,048 m) a 4% reduction
of the burner Btu rating shown on the model/serial number plate
is r
equired for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) increase in elevation.
Gas supply pressure testing
■ The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than 1/2 psi.
■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
con
nection to the dryer. See illustration.
■ 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.

■ Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible met
■ Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible

for cleaning.
■ Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported
when the dryer is in its final location.
■ Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking
that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,
or floors.
■ The total length of flexible metal vent should not exceed
7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
A. Louvered hood style
B. Box hood style
C. Angled hood style
■ An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents
and insects from entering the home.
■ Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such
as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,
carpets, etc.
Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Special provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the m
obile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows
and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best
for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manuf

■ Use the following vent system chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
Do not use vent runs longer than those specified
NOTE:
in the Vent system chart.
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
