LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.
DRYER DIMENSIONS
Models with riser
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 floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly.
■■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above floor.
■■ Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill 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.

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 equipmentgrounding 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 equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali•ed 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 quali•ed electrician.

INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs |
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from dryer carton; place under entire dryer. Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on cardboard.
IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging the back of the dryer. Lay the dryer on its side if you do not have the cardboard corner posts the dryer was packed with.
2. Screw in leveling legs
Flange |
Flange |
Models with riser |
Models without riser |
Models with riser:
Using a wrench, screw legs into cabinet until foot flange touches the riser. Foot is fully installed when bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) from bottom of the riser.
Models without riser:
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw legs into leg holes until bottom of foot is approximately 13/8" (35 mm) from bottom of dryer.
Now stand the dryer on its legs. Slide the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
NOTE: Refer to Dryer Dimensions in the Location Requirements.
MAKE GAS CONNECTION
