LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to open fully.
DRYER DIMENSIONS
Dryer with extended back:
NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 5" (127 mm)
clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting
Requirements”.
Dryer with at back:
You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. ■
See “Venting Requirements”.
A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and ■
30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet ■
located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements”.
Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). ■
Also consider weight of companion appliance.
Level oor with 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. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) ■
above oor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm)
to bottom of dryer.
Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. ■
(1.2 m) of the water ll valves, and water pressure of 20-100
psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply for 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 codes 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.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Spacing for recessed area or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, with tested
spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides and rear.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of ■
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and ■
oor 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 ventilitation openings are
acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.■

LP Gas Conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualied
technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas
specied on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting your gas company.
GAS SUPPLY LINE

lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.■
Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and ■
a different size adapter tting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" LP ■
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), use larger pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Must include shut-off valve■
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within
six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location should be easy to
reach for opening and closing.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of

Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.■
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room ■

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.■
Use as few 90° turns as possible.■
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent ■
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
Shorten life of dryer.■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times ■
and increased energy usage.
